In all seriousness most Java devs. regard the OpenJDK package as "that weird jvm that comes with the OS that nobody actually uses". First thing we do is download the latest JDK from Sunoracle.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoWhat? That's not true. "Most Java devs" (that I know) prefer Linux and primarily utilize OpenJDK for development. (Deployment is a mess left to other people). Really? No one uses Linux? And you're talking about Java and JVMs? That just looks silly.
- thebluesky 14y agoI only develop on Linux, think you got confused by the way I phrased it. I meant that hardly anyone uses the OpenJDK package, not that hardly anyone uses Linux.
- pretoriusB 14y agoI'm (among other things) a Linux Java dev, and for what is worth from my anecdotal point of view, neither me nor anyone I know users OpenJDK. Both development and deployments happens with Oracle stuff.
