I've also used Zulu with BaseX (Java 14 and 16) successfully. Note that Zulu is a distribution of OpenJDK much the way Ubuntu is distribution of Linux. I've also used Adopt OpenJDK on some machines and have never had any problems with either. If you are working in a corporate setting, you may find the fact that you can buy support for these distributions may help with red tape issues.

Hi,

I switched to https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/ for Windows and Mac shortly after Oracle announced their license change. On Linux I use the built in JDK. Tried Zulu Community on Linux as container for some legacy Java that had to be run or built with some of the older versions 8 and before.

Never had any problems.

It seems BaseX is a software that doesn't use anything only Oracle has in their distribution.

I start to forget about Oracle as primary source of Java. Any OpenJDK is good these days I think. I hope that is what they intended to achieve.

Best regards

Omar

Guys,

 

I was wondering what the options are for running BaseX on top of a runtime that is different from the Oracle one? I see Oracle is aggressively monetizing the Java runtime, but I know there are alternatives out there. Have any been tested with BaseX?

 

 

Best Regards
