Via the IcedTea project [1], OpenJDK is available today in Fedora (I'm running it on F10). It is also shipped and supported with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat does build OpenJDK but we don't really maintain a proper fork. The developers contribute actively upstream, etc. I'm using OpenJDK as my primary JDK and I have to say it is quite good. I run Eclipse and JBoss Dev Studio on it as well as many verions of JBoss AS and EAP (the latter is actually certified on OpenJDK). No real issues for me. Hope this answered your questions and didn't sound too much like a sales pitch (it wasn't intended as such). -Chris [1] http://icedtea.classpath.org Shawn Hartsock wrote: > More thoughts on Oracle buying Sun > http://www.javaworld.com/community/?q=node/2800 > > And the real thread of concern seems to be centered on NetBeans, > GlassFish, and MySQL. > > Still I'm curious about what the OpenJDK really means > http://openjdk.java.net/ never built it myself.
