You will just switch to one of the openjdk implementations
Obviously OpenJDK is superior to dealing with Oracle's bull. But even more superior (IMO) is simply not using Java. My life has been noticeably more pleasant since I started refusing to touch Java.
This isn't Java it's the jvm. Other languages run on it as well.
I am aware of that, but Java is the most popular language that runs on the JVM. I don’t specifically dislike other JVM languages, though one of my issues is type erasure and that’s partially a limitation of the JVM.
Kotlin is becoming very popular.In like 10 years of Java development I ran into type erasure like once...
Project Valhalla should help with it though (when it finally lands). And kotlin/other jvm languages will benefit as well.
There are solutions to it. For example in Scala I've had to use Class tags a couple of times before and they were ergonomic and functioned well
