Schonmal GehPunkt ausprobiert? Hab das schon länger auf meiner ZuTun-Liste das mal auszuprobieren

Was mir hier etwas fehlt: welche Bürokratie wurde abgebaut bzw. soll reduziert werden?

Wenn über “zu viel Bürokratie” gemeckert wird, betrifft das oft irgendwelche notwendigen Nachweise/Dokumentationen/Prozeduren/… die eben dafür sorgen sollen, dass man sich an bestimmte Regeln und Standards,… hält. Wenn ich nun nicht mehr Machweisen muss, dass ich X befolge - muss ich dann X überhaupt noch tun?

Yes, it’s just Oracle - Temurin, Coretto,… are all safe.

Oracle offers (paid) support for its Java distribution, which might be why it’s still used by companies…

Worse yet. They switched licensing and costs several times and companies should prepare to get hit with new licensing fees:

When they introduced Java 17 (a LTS version), they published it under the NTFC license. This means, this version is usable for free, but only until the next LTS version has been out for a year.

On Sep 19th 2023, Java 21 was released another LTS version. That means, that Java 17 just switched from the NTFC license to the OTNLA license a few days ago - which means, Java 17 is supported until 2029 but you now need a paid license to use it.

Hope everyone upgraded to Java 21 or newer in time.

Unless you were the one writing the program and its error messages - then check, that you didn’t mess up there…

But me took a second look!

D’uh, sometimes you just don’t see the obvious solution. Thanks, I think that’s the easiest solution for this problem!
