IMO, it would be great for volunteers to validate that Royale compiles on Open JDK and later Java versions so users have a choice of those as well as Java 8 (for a little while longer), and fix any bugs to make it work on all 3. It would be best if we didn't have to pick one official version.

While the older versions Java will still be available, they are no longer will receive security updates. This causes future security risks and support for the older versions should be retired. 2. New versions of Java after January will require a license annually. So I was wondering if we move to the OpenJDK officially for the SDK instead of only requiring the paid licensing app? -Mark K -----Original Message----- From: Kessler CTR Mark J Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2019 8:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Java newer licensing Our organization is in the process of figuring out how many licenses are needed for our clients and servers. This conversation however spilled over to our development environments as well. How is oracles new licensing [1][2] for Oracle Java SE / Oracle JDK going to affect us here for how we compile? Is it worth mentioning OpenJDK [3] since it is also maintained by Oracle folks and has a close parity of features to Oracles JDK?
