Hi Carlos, > but IICRC the changes was for new Java 11 version ...
The changes affect also Java 8, public updates of JDK 8 will end in January of 2019 [1]. @all: I would like to summarize my assumptions: - The Royale project is not affected because it's a non-commercial project - Companies who are using Royale could stick with JDK 8 without updates - Companies who are using Royale but won't allow outdated Java versions (because of security reasons) have to pay or they might be able to move to OpenJDK That said, the last point definitely affects Royale. Even if the costs for a few developer licenses shouldn't be a problem for a company, it's a bit more cumbersome to deal with those things. So, if OpenJDK would work with Royale it would be even better. Does anybody already use OpenJDK with Royale? IIUIC, "only from Java 11 forward, Oracle JDK builds and OpenJDK builds will be essentially identical" [2]. For those, who also have to deal with those license changes, some more interesting links [3][4]. BTW: Even if it's not the same but the entire story feels a bit like a Flash platform Déjà-vu to me. If you are not familiar with all this Java internals it's very hard to understand what's going on.
