Cannonical Ubuntu Installation Plans Sun JDK to OpenJDK

[Maulik Mistry]

I have read an excerpt from JRA-23083 relating that Atlassian does not support OpenJDK. However, our currently running server is Ubuntu from Canonical and their future plans leaves us to wonder what we should do. Although we can install Sun's Java manually which we have updated ourselves as well, their points appear valid to see if you will support OpenJDK.

I don't have an answer but I would love to see Atlassian move towards officially supporting OpenJDK since Oracle's latest move.

See this JIRA issue for a mention of success with Confluence and OpenJDK
