Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Java 11 recommendations
|
Hi
I agree that the Oracle JDK can be freely used for development and testing.
But I see a concern wrt the unusual wording “or your application” that
subsequent use in an application is then infected imposing the
commercial license on our users.
I'm not the EF or a lawyer, so I look to the EF and its lawyers to guide
us. Yes OpenJDK is used on Jenkins; no problem. But what if I use Oracle
JDK on my development machine? Does that infect Eclipse OCL, Papyrus,
the Modeling EPP or SimRel. If I use Oracle JDK to develop a patch for
SWT does that infect SWT?
Regards
Ed Willink

It's a bit long, but worth reading
https://medium.com/@javachampions/java-is-still-free-c02aef8c9e04,
where the legal stuff is explained, and a huge number of alternatives
are listed with pros and cons.
Oracle itself recommends switching to OpenJDK builds (which are
available from multiple parties), as long as you need no commercial
support. In fact, you can get an Oracle OpenJDK build, which is almost
identical with the previous OracleJDK:
https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/oracle-jdk-releases-for-java-11-and-later
The change has been announced long ago, and basically it boils down
to: You can use OracleJDK without a license for development, testing,
etc. but for commercial deployment you need a license, or you need to
use a different JVM build.
Ciao, Michael
PS: Doug, for me the AdoptOpenJDK Windows build generally worked fine,
but its certificate store did not work at all, which was a killer for me.
