On: Oracle’s Java 11 trap

[ronkwan]

there is a GPL2 version of jdk11 here, does it make any difference?

That's an "OpenJDK" build provided by Oracle.

But it is easy to get mixed up since it doesn't ACTUALLY say "OpenJDK" on that page.

All the links say and point to OpenJDK if you hover over them. It doesn't seem that obscure.

One would expect that the page provided by Oracle from which one could download OpenJDK would have the word "OpenJDK" in a header in 16+ point font-- and not visible only in link hover text box.

It's just weird.
