Oracle Java licensing costs / using OpenJDK?

[martin_mehltret]

Hi, due to the licensing costs for Java from Oracle, I wanted to ask:
Does JAMF Pro will change to OpenJDK in the future?
Is Jamf PRO compatible with OpenJDK.
Thanks

Yes, OpenJDK is supported. With 10.14 Java 11 is required. Check out this KB article...

Hello,

Jamf currently supports open JDK 8. Jamf will add future support for open JDK 11.

Hello,

Oracle is now making major releases every six months. The current version (Java 10) is considered a short-term release whereas the next version release (Java 11) in September 2018 will be a long-term release. Long term releases get 3 year support (maybe longer) according to Oracle. The reason I bring this up is because I'm wondering what Jamf is going to support going forward and what their recommendations are going to be.

Thanks & Regards,
Anita
