Varun Thacker commented on SOLR-12894:
--------------------------------------
So turns out that
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/installing-solr.html#got-java] was
updated at some point and today we have
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_5/solr-system-requirements.html]
If we are to reccomend users to use OpenJDK maybe we should have a link so that
users can download them on Windows , Linux and Mac?
[https://openjdk.java.net/install/] only has packages for linux .
The other way to look at it is , we shouldn't be in the business of
recommending one over the other. All we should say is both OpenJDK and Oracle
JDK are well tested and both work fine. Users can make their choice based on
that information.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12894
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Varun Thacker
> Priority: Major
>
> I was asked a question recently - "Is using OpenJDK safe with Solr 7.4" . To
> which my answer was yes . This was after I checked with Steve on which
> OpenJDK version runs on his jenkins
> For refrerence it currently uses -
> {code:java}
> openjdk version "1.8.0_171"
> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-8u171-b11-1~bpo8+1-b11)
> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode){code}
>
> Solr's ref guide (
> [https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/installing-solr.html#got-java|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/installing-solr.html#got-java]
> ) mentions using Oracle 1.8 or higher .
>
> We should mention that both Oracle JDKs and Open JDKs are tested. Perhaps
> even have a compatibility matrix
>
> Also we should note that Java 9 and 10 are short term releases . Hence remove
> wording that using Java8+ with more spefic versions.
