Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-12894:
------------------------------------

With the new 6-month release cadence from Oracle people will need to upgrade 
versions every 6 months or alternatively purchase a license from Oracle. While 
Oracle Java and other paid options may be the goto choice for some, I think 
most users are better off if all our docs and examples uses the 
[adoptopenjdk.net|https://adoptopenjdk.net/] distribution and links to it.

The AdoptOpenJDK releases are probably the closes thing to what people are used 
to from Oracle already, getting security and bug fixes at regular intervals. 
You will get that 100% open source and free from AdoptOpenJDK. We can of course 
also mention the other JREs that we regularly run tests for.

> I was asked a question recently - "Is using OpenJDK safe with Solr 7.4" . To 
> which my answer was yes . This was after I checked with Steve on which 
> OpenJDK version runs on his jenkins
> For refrerence it currently uses -
> {code:java}
> openjdk version "1.8.0_171"
> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-8u171-b11-1~bpo8+1-b11)
> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode){code}

> Solr's ref guide (  
> [https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/installing-solr.html#got-java|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/installing-solr.html#got-java]
>  ) mentions using Oracle 1.8 or higher .
>  
> We should mention that both Oracle JDKs and Open JDKs are tested. Perhaps 
> even have a compatibility matrix
>  
> Also we should note that Java 9 and 10 are short term releases . Hence remove 
> wording that using Java8+ with more spefic versions.
