After January 2019 Oracle discontinued posting Java SE<\/a> updates that could be used commercially. Now commercial users are required to purchase support for Oracle Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequence of Oracle’s decision is that many products that use Java already have or are planning to move away from Oracle support for Java JDK. In fact, according to a report by Snyk<\/a>, 80 percent of Oracle JDK users are considering alternatives. Similar results were reported by in a parallel survey by Azul Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, 70 percent of JDK users were using Oracle JDK, but that number dropped to 34 percent in a February 2020 report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Coleman<\/a>, Azul\u2019s Chairman of the Board, said that<\/a> “leading industry analysts agree that the majority of Oracle\u2019s JVM customers are looking for a more cost-effective open source solution which supports otherwise unsupported older releases.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the alternatives to Oracle JDK? OpenJDK<\/a>, Eclipse Open J9\/IBM J9<\/a>, Android SDK<\/a>, and Azul<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
