Hi Jody, Thanks for getting back to me.
I’ll give that a go although my colleagues had already tried that one for a different application and had issues. However my question still stands in a generic sense because I think there needs to be clarity on what is now recommended. After all the work to support Java 11 are we still saying that Java 8 is better and is that likely to change soon? I’m sure the Adopt one is fine and will pass our compliance testing this month but I just felt it is still felt it is relevant to ask for some clarity on whether Java 11 will become the recommended version shortly. The GeoServer releases come with a clear change log detailing what patches are included but I can’t see that on the AdoptOpenJDK site; are the two OpenJDK sites actually separate products or is it just a distribution of the same project? I mostly ask because their support page gives plenty of information about the quality of the builds, which I accept; but how do you know what security patches are being applied if the Oracle version is now commercial, OpenJDK appears to not be updating and AdoptOpenJDK seem to be giving limited information. Anyway; I’ll have a go at installing that one on my DEV server for now.

On the documentation it states that the latest versions of GeoServer have been tested with OpenJDK 11 (on Tomcat 9) but then goes on to say that the best performance is on Java 8. To keep up with security our authority wants me to update my version of Java 8 but that now falls under the pay for a licence category and I can’t see OpenJDK 8 (it seems to start from 9 and says the early adoption program has ended). What is currently the recommended version of Java because we are using Tomcat 8.5 so I can install OpenJDK 11 but wondered if someone could clarify the performance sentence for me? Should I move to Tomcat 9 / OpenJDK 11? Thanks in advance and I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
