Hi Mark,

We've been running 5 production DSpace instances on OpenJDK (RHEL 5) for a 
couple of years now. Initially we found an issue when Tomcat underwent updates 
and a new mailjar link was created in the Tomcat application, somehow it broke 
DSpace's mailing capability. A script has been put in place to monitor this and 
simply remove the mailjar symlink in Tomcat. Other than this, there have been 
no issues that we are aware of.

Regards,
Gary

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Stories about DSpace on OpenJDK?

That raises something else important:  we need to gather experience with DSpace 
on OpenJDK so that we all know how to support that combination, which is likely 
to become a significant issue due to changes in distro.s' Java support.

Since Oracle JDK and OpenJDK are largely the same codebase, it should Just 
Work, but "should" is a large word....
