The Oracle OpenJDK at https://jdk.java.net is a full, supported and free distribution. There are also reference implementations hosted at that site, but that's tangential and serves a different purpose entirely. The main caveat with the Oracle OpenJDK distribution is that it's not supported for more than a couple of CPUs.
I am not familiar with the details of the support subscription, but I believe it includes two main services: 1. extended support: companies that prefer the new non-gradual update path over the new gradual update path because they like planned and budgeted upgrades can get security and bug fixes to old JDK versions; 2. critical bug fixes: subscribers can escalate critical bugs and get access to ...
Oracle JDK and Oracle's OpenJDK builds are both builds of the source project called OpenJDK. We can't say "identical" because they do have some differences (like different version strings, and a slightly different handling of legacy command line flags), so we say "functionally identical," which makes it sound like they're two implementations of ...
Avoid Oracle like poison. They keep doing flip flop in policies so don't believe what they say about their jdk distro. Use openjdk17 (non Oracle) for fresh projects. Just confirm if your organization has jdk17 based servers (if still on VM) . In case of docker it is relatively easy to setup.
Nemo_64. •. The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment, you need it to run java applications. The JDK is the Java Development Kit, you need it to compile your code, it also includes the JRE. About Java SE and EE, to my understanding, I may be wrong here, SE is Standard Edition, what you use for personal use. Java EE is the enterprise Edition, is ...
Previously I thought the Oracle OpenJDK (from jdk.java.net) or the Adoptium JDK were the best completely free options for updating/upgrading to Java 17. I also thought that Adoptium would be superior in my case as it has a (potential, community based) longer support duration than six months. But now that the previously not free for all ...
This is not the "Oracle JDK" but Oracle's OpenJDK builds. It is not supported for a limited time, but provides perpetual free updates on the default, cheap update path, for companies that don't wish to perform costly upgrades. jdk.java.net only offers the current JDK, not builds of Updates Projects for old JDKs.
To download it, an account is required but when signing up I need to enter a bunch of information such as job title, work phone, company name and such. I don't have a programming job, I'm just starting to learn now.
Java 17 LTS is the latest long-term support release for the Java SE platform. JDK 17 binaries are free to use in production and free to redistribute, at no cost, under the Oracle No-Fee Terms and Conditions License. Oracle JDK is now (as per Java 17) free for commercial and production use. Yeah.
As the download page says, it is intended for Oracle's support customers. It directs those looking for Oracle's free JDK to jdk.java.net . The latest version (currently 12 as of this comment) should NOT require a login. And as @pron98 pointed out the free Oracle OpenJDK distros are available at jdk.java.net .
