The end of this year is going to be such a dumpster fire for us. I think I've got about a hundred developers with a mix of Linux, Mac, and Windows. The corporate overlords are mostly sticking to JDK 1.8, which is fine -- RHEL has a LTS for that on Linux. The developer desktops are all over the place right now, however. The jump from 8 to 9+, for those of saddled with legacy crap code, has been somewhat painful. Got to wonder how many years I'll be seeing a 8u191 (or whatever the last release is) on the windows/osx boxes.

- heelix 8y agoOpenJDK is on the Linux servers and workstations. The options for OSX, for example, are less clear. Folks are trying to see what non-Oracle option might work on desktops/laptops.
