Differences between openJDK and oracleJDK

[Steffen Heil (Mailinglisten)]

Hi


I have problems with the following method:
   sun.security.x509.AuthorityKeyIdentifierExtension.getEncodedKeyIdentifier()

It exists in openJDK but it does not exist in oracleJDK. I always thought that except for some special cases regarding licensing those JDKs should be the same ...

While I can work around that issue, I fear there are other incompatibilities I might not be aware of.

So I have the following questions:
- Are the jsse-Implementations of both JDKs independent?
- How are security patches handled?
- Can I be sure that security fixes in oracleJDK make it into openJDK in time?


Regards,
   Steffen
