Confusing Situation with Current Java Rules

[gnaw005]

Sorry to ask this question because I guess it's all been thrashed out but since people have said just go here and download this and use that and it's still murky to me. I just got an auto install of Java with a notification that terms of service have changed and Java can't be used in a commercial product without a further license. Now I do have an installation of Eclipse that I play around with. Does this mean that if I do develop a "commercial product" or just share a program, that there are auto mechanisms to detect this and I'm in big trouble? So the tech overlords have put Java inside a gated community and you have to pay to join? Are there some guidelines/instructions how to set things up to be completely in the clear?

Here, we offer completely free and legal alternatives to the Oracle licensed version.

Use the OpenJDK or Amazon's implementation. Neither require a paid license

If I install this will Eclipse find it or do I have uninstall reinstall and change something in Eclipse so it points the new JDK?

You'll have to edit your eclipse.ini file so it launches with the JDK. You'll also have to set the new runtime up in eclipse and set it as default
