Choosing a Java Vendor and Flavor for Your Workplace

There now exist several vendors for Java. This session will provide meaningful data-points that can be weighted within your organization to help make the right decisions, but will NOT attempt to influence which vendor is chosen.

This session highlights various decision factors that go into making the right choices, be it key differentiators, usage, licensing models, support, patching etc. that determine what works best for your organization.

Additionally, decisions such as sticking to an existing version of Java (say Java 8 or moving to a new stable version such as Java 11, or moving along side the each version of Java will be evaluated). Data from the some of the well-known Java vendors will be shared as examples used in evaluation.

    AGENDA
    • Understanding Long Term Support
    • Licenses in the JDK space
    • Support models from Oracle
    • Evaluation considerations
    • Java Vendors

    View Slide

  11. @CGuntur
    WHAT IS LONG TERM SUPPORT (LTS)
    • An understanding between the various Java contributors.

    

    • Currently, led by Oracle and Red Hat.

    

    • New OpenJDK release every 6 months (9, 10, 11,12 ..).

    View Slide

  12. @CGuntur
    WHAT IS LONG TERM SUPPORT (LTS) - CONTINUED
    • Most versions of Java SE ‘maintained’ for 6 months.

    

    • Some versions supported longer for commercial reasons.

    

    • These ‘LTS’ versions of Java are released every 3 years. 

    

    • Oracle JDK releases map to OpenJDK LTS (11, 17, 23, …)

    JAVA VERSION STRATEGY
    USE JAVA 8
    • Most developers are very comfortable with Java 8

    • Java 8 has matured for a long time and is battle-tested

    • Does not require thinking in modules and corollary 

    • Easier for reflection and legacy third party libraries

    JAVA VERSION STRATEGY
    USE JAVA 8
    • Oracle JDK 8 has an commercial-use restrictions :
    • Available with subscription beyond Apr. 2019
    • Personal/development use until ~Dec. 2020

    • Ensures Java support, upgrades and patches

    • May prove too experimental for high impact applications

    • Will have feature toggles for bleeding edge features
