Recently Gartner released a report advising their clients to look carefully at their use of Java SE to ensure compliance with the Java SE terms of use.
We encourage you to do the same and invite you to explore open source Java alternatives like Zulu and Zulu Enterprise.
Azul’s Zulu products are 100% open source, certified builds of OpenJDK that are based on the same source code that Oracle uses for its proprietary Java SE offering. Zulu is compliant with Java SE specifications, and has identical performance to the Oracle offering, making it an easy “drop-in” replacement for Oracle HotSpot.
Zulu Enterprise brings the following advantages for Java SE users:
- Zulu is free to download and free to use, without field-of-use or any other restrictions
- Azul supports Java SE 10, 8, 7, and 6 (and Java 11 in September 2018)
- Azul offers high-quality 24 x 7 x 365 support and timely access to security updates and other critical bug fixes for Zulu Enterprise customers
