It's so easy to use openjdk. I think the lesson is stop using oracle

My employer has a pretty large presence in AWS. We finished migrating to Amazon’s Corretto (based on openjdk) months ago. It was pretty painless given we already use Amazon’s Linux distros.

What could possibly go wrong with locking yourself into an environment owned by Amazon, or Google or Microsoft?

What's the lockin? Is it really harder than just swapping the jdk path to switch between Coretto and OpenJDK? I understand Coretto being preferable for performance and security patches but I don't imagine it's that big of a deal if one eventually had to switch

I think that may have been in reference to using AWS, not corretto specifically.

It's not a big deal. Java haters know very little about Java.

You're getting downvoted because you spoke the truth.

Ever since I looked up "java download" and had to go through the horrible process on the Oracle site, I decided that they didn't want me to download Java so I should avoid it, and that has always proved to be a good decision

As much as I do like programming in Java, you have a good point.
