On Debian Sid I use Azul JDKs (Zulu 8 and Zulu 9) because they provide a deb repository and it is easy. On Fedora Rawhide I use the Fedora provided OpenJDK, Azul do not provide a Fedora rawhide rpm repository, but they do provide a RHEL/CentOS one. Why not the Debian provided OpenJDK and ignore Azul? It comes down to being told Debian Sid OpenJDK was unreliable and that I should trust Azul. I have discovered some incompatibilities of Groovy 2.4.14 running on Zulu 8 compared to Zulu 9. I have yet to try on Fedora OpenJDK to see if it is an Azul problem or a Groovy problem. I am not about to use OracleJDK ever again. Obviously though I am always using the free versions, I do not pay a licence fee. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
