Why would you? This is probably the WORST Gum of them all! Mhmm spicy Cinnamon! Something I was craving all day!
I’ve been running my Minecraft client on Azul Zulu builds of the OpenJDK for years, just because I trust anyone else more than Oracle.
Of course my Minecraft server is running on Linux anyway, with the openjdk build from my distro.
Honestly I don’t know what differences there still are that would motivate companies to use Oracle JDK. I thought Oracle JDK and OpenJDK converged strongly a few years ago.
Can use Scala to gradually transition away from java - convert code module by module, interop just works, until eventually no java left, can then compile instead as js, native or even wasm (i recently tried this for my climate-system model which evolved from old java). Also, btw, made in europe, not big-tech, and scala3 looks more like python.
Openjdk works
I don’t think Oracle Java is even supported by the software I work with anymore. I was amazed to learn last year that one of our customers was only just switching to Opekjdk. Every one I’ve worked with made the transition years ago.
I’m on Linux and have a large variety of Javas to choose from. (Currently having 2 installed in parallel. Don’t remember ones name, but the other is Temurin.) Is it different on Windows? Why don’t they just switch?
All my private projects compile and run on both and even my favorite old Java game Spiral Knights works after some CLI parameter tweaking for modern JVMs.
There’s a large variety on Windows too, e.g. Temurin and Corretto are both available there
I’m guessing 1 out of 10 respondents didn’t understand the question.
Like that one dentist that doesn’t agree toothbrushes are good or whatever.
Time to bleed legacy companies dry. That’s all they can do at this stage.
Game over, man. Game over.
