Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Java 11 recommendations

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Familiarity. Oracle: I just 'accept without reading' and then do much the same as I have for the last ten years.

I looked at OpenJDK and was confused what to do. I then Googled, found the Trojan warning and emailed asking for advice.

AFAICT, the Oracle license is probably legally invalid, but until withdrawn/overturned, any SimRel project using Oracle Java 11 might infect the whole of the SimRel.

It seems to me that the EF should ban Oracle Java 11 for development; only allowing use for verification testing.

There is no policy on the Java version. But I don’t understand why anyone would elect to use Java under the OTN license when you could also use it under the GPL+CE?

Hi

Is there an EF policy on what Java 11 should be used?

suggests that the Oracle JDK that I have used in the past may no longer be appropriate.

Please advise.
