What version of OpenJDK 11 to install in Production environment to run Bonita 2021.1?

Hi,

According to the matrix in the official documentation, version 2021.1 is the last version supporting Java 8: https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.12/hardware-and-software-requirements

Therefore, I want to install OpenJDK 11 in my environments, so that I can install 2021.1 and all future versions.

Now, when searching for OpenJDK 11 online, I found this:

In the archive page here: https://jdk.java.net/archive/

It says in red:
WARNING: These older versions of the JDK are provided to help developers debug issues in older systems. They are not updated with the latest security patches and are not recommended for use in production.

And in the RI Binary (build 11+28) page I see: https://jdk.java.net/java-se-ri/11
It has reference implementations only and states in bold and italicized text, "These binaries are for reference use only!"

It seems that it isn't for use in Production or Qualification either.  

We use Windows and MacOs environments only.  

Is there a version of OpenJDK 11 that I can safely install on my production environment?
Could you explain which one and could you share the links?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

OpenJDK builds are provided by various companies:

  • AdoptOpenJDK (soon to be part of the Eclipse foundation) provides builds here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/
  • Azul provides builds here: https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?version=java-11-lts&package=jdk

 

We test the product against the last version of the Open JDK builds provided by AdoptOpenJDK, so I would recommend using that one.

 

HTH,
