Well Worth My Time: "OpenJDK Migration for Dummies"

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:51:26 +0000

I’ve just read the (free) OpenJDK Migration for Dummies book. It was well worth my time!

I first started using Java in 1998, so I’ve got a long history with it and feel very comfortable with the language itself. However, the licensing changes and proliferation of OpenJDK distributions are much more recent, and those aspects can be a bit confusing.

The book is obviously written by a vendor, but it’s very honest about that. It does a good job of establishing the motivation for using OpenJDK, providing actionable steps for how to pursue that migration, and presenting meaningful information that a business should consider when selecting an OpenJDK vendor.
