OpenJDK now available for Windows

I love OpenJDK. It hurts my soul whenever I see an open source project using proprietary Oracle APIs. Most recently I ran into this with Graylog. Great product, but it's unit tests won't run without the Oracle JDK.

We'd be happy to use OpenJDK, but few days ago we discovered a bug (feature?) that works differently in HotSpot - so we had to migrate our services to it.

OpenJDK is the HotSpot VM.

Oracle Java has patches for things that OpenJDK doesn't. That's the real bummer, as it causes behavior differences and makes migration away from Oracle JDK impossible sometimes.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. However I'm seeing different behaviour on these two vms with the same version.

Already been there :( the command line flags by default are different

You can do a diff using java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal
