Finally got to the answer. So it IS paid from one particular vendor. I understand there are free options. But that makes it a mine in a field if you are not knowledgable enough. It went this deep into threading to really get an ack that there is a big red O' mine in there.
And there is one piece that wont run without big red O... :(
- vasac 4y agoIt's the same mine in a field as RHEL (a commercial Linux distribution). However, that has never prevented anyone from using other free distributions.
- layer8 4y agoVirtually no one has trouble with this in practice. You use OpenJDK unless you have “special needs”.
- kaba0 4y agoSince OracleJDK is also just OpenJDK with a logo, I don’t believe that there is any software that runs on any recent OracleJDK but not on OpenJDK.
- jve 4y agoIt may be windows specific thing like registry looking at specific runtime thing or whatever... This software doesn't run with OpenJDK: https://support.ismacontrolli.com/Software%20%26%20Tools/iSMA%20Tool/Software%20Bundle/ https://support.ismacontrolli.com/Software%20%26%20Tools/iSM...
- jjav 4y ago> But that makes it a mine in a field if you are not knowledgable enough. That seems like looking for a problem where one does not exist to be honest. The peer comment regarding RedHat is spot on. Yes you can purchase a Linux distro from RedHat and pay lots of money. That doesn't mean anyone will argue with a straight face that you can't run Linux for free! It's the exact same scenario with Java. You could pay Oracle for a Oracle JDK if for some reason you reall want to, but approximately nobody does that.
