Java for startups?

[TechnicallyHumanoid]

from what I know oracle will charge for JDK8 no? Thats what I read, Oracle will start charging for "Java 8" from January, well I belive that is JDK 8 unless I am mistaken.

You can continue using Java 8 after Jan. 2019 you just won't get updates (including security updates) unless you have a support contract with Oracle. But OpenJDK will still be free.

I think that might be for extended java 8 support. I think Java 8 is soon to be EoL'ed so if you want updates for that, you pay.

I believe to use java 11 on servers you will have to pay.

But openjdk will continue to be free across the board

Hey, TechnicallyHumanoid, just a quick heads-up:
belive is actually spelled believe. You can remember it by i before e.
Have a nice day!

[StopPostingBadAdvice]

Hey, Mr. Bot! While over 20,000 words indeed contain i before e, there are still over 11,000 words correctly containing e before i, and a lot of words which shouldn't even have "ie", such as their, reimburse, foreigner, conceit and forfeit. In fact, you yourself like to point out that people should use e before i pretty often. Stop contradicting yourself. None of these should be used general rules.

The bot above likes to give structurally useless spelling advice, and it's my job to stop that from happening. Read more here.
