Oh my god. The amount of FUD concerning the JDK licensing for JDK 11 is just amazing. So, unless I’ve missed something, Oracle does the following: Contributes pretty much all of the closed source technologies (or what was originally to become closed source) of the Oracle JDK to OpenJDK, for example giving the community: JDK […]

TL:DR; Java is still available at zero-cost, you just need to stop using Oracle JDK and start using an OpenJDK build, such as this one or this one.

There is now a Java release every 6 months - March and September. It started with Java 9 and we're about to get Java 11. But should you jump on the release train? To answer that, we need to look at how Java's release chains are being split.

Moving from Java 8 to Java 11 is trickier than most upgrades. Here are a few of my notes on the process.

From Java 11 its time to think beyond Oracle's JDK. Time to appreciate the depth of the ecosystem built on OpenJDK. Here is a list of some key OpenJDK builds.

Early access builds of JDK Mission Control are now available. They can be fetched from here: http://jdk.java.net/jmc/ With JMC 7, we are switching to a new delivery model, with a separate installer for JMC. There are multiple reasons for this, such as having one deliverable which supports both OpenJDK and the Oracle JDK, and wasting […]

The Java ecosystem has always been built on a high quality $free (zero-cost) JDK available from Oracle, and previously Sun. This is as true today as it always has been - but the new six-monthly release cycle does mean some big changes are happening.
