Oracle JDK and OpenJDK in production environment

Question

Is it possible to change from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK in production environment specially for JAVA EE applications?

Answer 1

Theoretically Yes. However in practice, There are many projects that work fine on Oracle JDK but not on OpenJDK and vice versa.

Since even a simple patch update of your JDK may lead to problems in your system, you have to thoroughly test the compatibility in a test environment first before moving in production.
