Simply switch to OpenJDK (which is same code base, but without any Oracle angst attached) and be whole.

  Developed by the same Oracle employees....

    but completely open source. what's your point?

      I am on Oracle's side, my point is that people keep giving advises to switch to OpenJDK as means to get rid of evil Oracle (on their eyes) as if it was developed by someone else.

    So now Oracle employees are monsters too? discuss ideas and facts not people.

      I am on Oracle's side, my point is that people keep giving advises to switch to OpenJDK as means to get rid of evil Oracle (on their eyes) as if it was developed by someone else. I don't even use OpenJDK, rather always install Oracle commercial's JDK.

        Because the evil is in the license. You're batting at strawmen.

          No, I am battling at nonsense FUD, because the health of OpenJDK depends on Oracle paychecks anyway. Given how much Google and IBM cared for Sun's fate, I doubt very much they would pick up OpenJDK development, if all those devs went away. Then you could enjoy your free license with a programming language frozen in maintenance mode.
