Are Java Security Updates Important?

Recently, I was in discussion with a Java user at a bank about the possibilities of using Azul Platform Core to run a range of applications.

A great many developers today are employed working with OpenJDK. If OpenJDK is the background source for your livelihood, you might want to contribute to future development of the OpenJDK.

There are many ways you can do this. In this article I outline 7 possibilities, ranging from minimal work (because you’re too busy to do much, but you’d like to do something) to intensive work (participating on OpenJDK development is everything you want to do, it’s more than a hobby, you want to contribute to the maximum extent possible).
