Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-12894:


With the new 6-month release cadence from Oracle people will need to upgrade 
versions every 6 months or alternatively purchase a license from Oracle. While 
Oracle Java and other paid options may be the goto choice for some, I think 
most users are better off if all our docs and examples uses the 
[adoptopenjdk.net|https://adoptopenjdk.net/] distribution and links to it.

The AdoptOpenJDK releases are probably the closes thing to what people are used 
to from Oracle already, getting security and bug fixes at regular intervals. 
You will get that 100% open source and free from AdoptOpenJDK. We can of course 
also mention the other JREs that we regularly run tests for.

bq. If we are to reccomend users to use OpenJDK maybe we should have a link so 
that users can download them on Windows , Linux and Mac? 
https://openjdk.java.net/install/ only has packages for linux .

Binaries for more platforms available here: 
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html

bq. How does this change look?

+1, except maybe update the {{java -version}} output in 
{{solr-system-requirements.adoc}} to something more modern?  E.g. mine from 
this issue's description (though it's from the Debian 8 {{openjdk-8-\*}} 
packages, so not the most recent).

bq. we shouldn't be in the business of recommending one over the other. All we 
should say is both OpenJDK and Oracle JDK are well tested and both work fine.

Sounds good.  Add something like "You'll want to be sure that the license for 
the Java version you choose will meet your needs" ... to be re-worded as 
necessary so it flows well.  So we draw attention to licensing without an 
explicit recommendation.

So turns out that 
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/installing-solr.html#got-java] was 
updated at some point and today we have 
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_5/solr-system-requirements.html]

If we are to reccomend users to use OpenJDK maybe we should have a link so that 
users can download them on Windows , Linux and Mac? 
[https://openjdk.java.net/install/] only has packages for linux . 

 

The other way to look at it is , we shouldn't be in the business of 
recommending one over the other. All we should say is both OpenJDK and Oracle 
JDK are well tested and both work fine. Users can make their choice based on 
that information.

Since Oracle has changed the license with version 11, we should probably start 
recommending OpenJDK, while stating that Oracle Java will work.
