[External] : Free Oracle JDK subscription for OpenJDK committers

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi Laurent,

strictly speaking, the OpenJDK mailing lists are for OpenJDK 
development, rather than for discussion of commercial products. With 
that being said, I didn't want to leave your questions unanswered.

Oracle offers the Java SE Universal subscription ... well, universally 
... at https://www.oracle.com/java/java-se-subscription/ ;)

If you're looking to use the current Oracle JDK LTS release you can 
already do that for the latest LTS (including a year of overlap between 
them): 
https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/post/introducing-free-java-license 


You can also use the older Oracle JDK LTS releases for your own personal 
use: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk-faqs.html

Last but not least, you can use the Oracle JDK on Oracle's machines 
through OCI: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/java/ , which has a free tier 
that allows anyone, including OpenJDK committers to try OCI out:

For questions and suggestions about GraalVM, the best place to get 
started are the community pages at https://www.graalvm.org/community/ . 
A good start might be the GraalVM users mailing list.
