- SavageBeast 6y agoOpen JDK is pretty good now - Im migrating our prod env away from Oracle JDK soon. The smoke test env running Open JDK has passed all tests. No reason to stay on Oracle anymore. There are other JDK makers and they work great.
- cesarb 6y agoOpenJDK is pretty nice, it's the "CentOS" of the Java world. Which, given the recent events around CentOS, should give one pause. If Oracle ever closes the language again, will development follow one of these other JDK makers, or will they all trail the "official" Java like in the past (GCJ/Classpath, Harmony, and so on)?
