I recall reading it somewhere (Apple mailing list?) that Apple resources are working on the openjdk port and Oracle does pull from OpenJDK so I wouldn't be surprised to see features from OpenJDK pulled into Oracle JDK. It would be weird if Apple contributed stuff into openjdk and oracle didn't pull it into their OS X distribution.
- astrange 15y agoOracle JDK uses the live OpenJDK source repository. There are only minor differences between Open and Closed JDK.
- Someone 15y agoOracle being Oracle, it would not surprise me if they ignored Mac OS X specific changes. They may not want to take up the responsibility for testing and maintaining such changes (what if a security bug surfaces on code Apple contributed?)
- stevoski 15y agoOracle has indeed taken on Mac OS X specific changes. There are a few cosmetic issues still not resolved as of this update. But they are known, and in their bug tracker. Oracle and Apple have actually worked together closely and openly on this. Anyone can sign up to the macosx-port-dev@openjdk.java.net and follow the progress.
