  • Emphasize that Java 8 should be used which hopefully makes users double check their Java version
  • Add recommendation for using 64-bit JVM on Intel/AMD
  • Update recommendation for ARM with Raspberry Pi example so users can easier relate to it
  • Update reasons for using 32-bit JVM on ARM so users don't put effort into recompiling nrjavaserial on arm64 because it already works
  • Fix typo

Fixes #932

See openhab/openhab-distro#768. It does work. But it might not work well for everyone. 😉
