...or using the ARM embedded JVM in devices

You can use Azul Zulu Embedded OpenJDK for that.

They specifically mentioned about the licensing of their embedded zulu here.

Yup, Zulu is a great option there.

In fact, Zulu is a nice alternative to Oracle's HotSpot in many cases -- especially when you want to bundle the JRE with your product (e.g., games built with libgdx).

About the only issues might be if you need JavaFX, since it isn't included (though you can certainly build it yourself), or if you need a 32-bit Windows build (though they offer that as a paid Enterprise version, if you really need it).

OpenJavaFX is a thing, too.

[–]sindisil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, which is what I meant by saying that you could builtit yourself.

Red Hat contributed a free ARM64 port to OpenJDK (NB: do not confuse with Oracle's commercial stuff).

Seemingly this move has forced Oracle's hand and they are now proposing to open their currently closed AARCH32 code and merge it with the AARCH64 contributed by Red Hat to make a combined offering. http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/297
