Running Oracle JDK on Docker? You're Breaking the Law

Or just download the jdk normally, accept license, create your own docker image with the jdk fully installed and you are ready to go. Not breaking any laws here (or even licence agreements, there's a difference you know!), so please change the silly headline.

The title is misleading. It should state "Oracle JDK" instead of "Java". As proposed in the text, with OpenJDK, you are just fine.

We switched from the Oracle JDK to OpenJDK a couple of months back and it's going fine. It's nice to "yum install openjdk" and not have to worry about license gotchas. What are the advantages to the Oracle JDK that we're missing?

For what it&#x27;s worth, Red Hat&#x27;s OpenJDK release is validated with the TCK. So not all OpenJDK builds are equal... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;access.redhat.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;1299013" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;access.redhat.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;1299013</a>

These days is there any great benefit to Oracle JDK over Zulu? It can be deployed with Docker easily [1].<p>1 - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.azul.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;zulu&#x2F;docker&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.azul.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;zulu&#x2F;docker&#x2F;</a>

I wasn&#x27;t aware of this, thanks for sharing. The lean JVM installation script is also useful (I won&#x27;t re-distributed the image built that way though).

Should not be exclusive to Docker. Vagrant boxes, AWS AMIs and other premade OS images with (Oracle) Java preinstalled could fall into the same problem.
