In the organization I work for, we're contemplating a move from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK, when we move from 8 to 9. I'm still nervous about OpenJDK from some historical scary stories of things not working well in OpenJDK or at least different. I've not found much on the subject, or even on OpenJDK as a functioning open source project. (Or is it just a code drop of the Oracle JDK?) If anyone has good insights, or links to some realistic comparisons, I'd be thrilled.
