- qwerty456127 8y agoWhy? How is it better than the original OpenJDK? There seems to be no answer to this question in the repository readme.
- pjmlp 8y agoBefore Oracle synchronized all the code between the proprietary version and OpenJDK, stuff like the graphics engine and font rendering wasn't the same. So many applications, including JetBrains ones, did not look that good on FOSS/OS X platforms with many rendering issues. Hence why JetBrains started bundling their own version of OpenJDK for those not willing to install Oracle JDK.
- qwerty456127 8y agoBut why would one need their own version of OpenJDK today?
