And another one joins the ‘OpenJDK support’ club!
Pivotal announced the offer of official support for OpenJDK via Pivotal Spring Runtime, comprehensive support for all the Java environments.
With the concern over Oracle’s changes of the release cadences and support for the various Java versions still holding strong, the list of providers of OpenJDK builds keeps getting longer. We already have AdoptOpenJDK, Azul, IBM, Red Hat, Linux, Amazon Corretto (to name a few), and now Pivotal joins the party!
Let’s have a look at Pivotal’s announcement.
