Hmm, they're getting closer and closer, Orcale will soon be based on OpenJDK or vice-versa.
They might be getting closer, Java is "standard" after all, but the two are not yet compatible.
I do documentation for the Firebird Database project (www.firebirdsql.org) using DocBook and the xsl-fo to pdf conversion utility fop, barfs with a null pointer exception under OpenJDK and works perfectly under Oracle Java.
In addition, when building HTML, which works with both JDKs, it takes 32 seconds with Oracle and 12 minutes with OpenJDK.
Unfortunately, OpenJDK isn't always faster than Oracle and I'd rather not use Java if I didn't have to! ;-)
Anyway, slightly off topic, I'll stop ranting now!
