The Android battle is another thing that I wouldn't consider for OracleJDK / OpenJDK. While I do like what Google did from a technical point of view, Google may have overstepped fair use (or not – I don't know). Anyway Sun didn't like what Google did, they probably considered going to court at

Back in the day, HotSpot was recommended because OpenJDK had some stability and performance issues. But in 2015 or maybe 2014 I heard in a presentation (don't remember by whom) that OpenJDK is pretty on par with HotSpot for C*. But I guess the documentation was never properly updated. On Tue,

The fact that Oracle would even come up with something like this "Oracle's position was that Google should have to license code from them." is just messed up. And these kind of business practices are exactly the reason why to stay away. Of course every company is there to make money. You look at

A note on this video from the respected James Gosling, is that it is from 2010, when Oracle was new to the Java stewardship ecosystem. The company came a long since. I'm not saying everything is perfect. But I doubt that a product such as the JVM will be as good without a company guidance. The
