Then you get to run certification tests for every build, if I read the agreement correctly. https://openjdk.java.net/groups/conformance/JckAccess/ If I could just add one more thing to this discussion. I would like to point out Fedora's First foundation as applicable WRT the java ecosystem. Do we need OpenJDK 8? I mean I would think that Latest +1 in Rawhide, Latest and latest -1 on current Fedora Release, then latest and latest -1 and latest -2 on the due to eol at next release Fedora. I too use the system OpenJDK for java development, and the packaged ant and the packaged Maven, successfully and consistently on Fedora Linux for some years. Just yesterday I built the Netbeans IDE 13 using them in a toolbox container on my Silverblue box.All I had to install in the toolbox was java-17-openjdk-devel.x86_64 and ant from the Fedora Linux repos. I haven't had a need to use OpenJDK 8 in over two years now, and the last time I had to do anything with OpenJDK 11 was some 8 months ago. I don't have much Enterprise level development/support requirements so my use cases are sot like others, but the bulk of my java development is with OpenJDK 17 and with the packaged Fedora OpenJDK. If I remember the IDE exodus correctly, it was driven by issue overload on the part of upstream, in some cases I think those packaging for Fedora didn't get the attention needed to keep successfully packaging. I also think it was distro agnostic, meaning it happened everywhere. Hence flatpaks and snap apps. One more point, the reason I built Netbeans instead of using the Flatpak version available was it works better for me as a host package. The flatpak version has issue finding the system libraries which forces you to copy in multiple jar libraries for one. Thank you everyone who helps maintain the current offering of Java and tools.
