I've did web search jmeter and openjdk 13 and found only that relevant post: Is JMeter is going to be paid as Oracle decides for Java post 1.8v?:

JMeter needs Java >=8 (Java 9 and 10 are intermediate and not advised).

On Apache JMeter page last JMeter version mentioned is JMeter 2.5.x (JVM 1.5+).

How does JMeter works on latest OpenJDK 13?

Latest JMeter 5.2.1 works with Java 13

JMeter works for me on a freshly installed Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop with either OpenJDK 13 (installed from the Ubuntu repo) as well as Oracle JDK 13

JMeter officially don't limit java version in requirements:

JMeter is compatible with Java 8 or higher. We highly advise you to install latest minor version of your major version for security and performance reasons.

Also you can see JMeter is tested with Java 13 on Travis CI

  • thanx, I was concerned with quote in my question "Java 9 and 10 are intermediate and not advised". I don't know where it came from to appear in that answer. – Alex Martian Dec 10 '19 at 14:33
  • @AlexeiMartianov It's an old documentation – Ori Marko Dec 10 '19 at 14:35
  • maybe, it was in Jan 2019 answer. – Alex Martian Dec 10 '19 at 14:36

    @AlexeiMartianov you are right, I was talking about second link, The first link just comment about Java 9,10 are non long term versions and changes in oracle license https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/java-se-support-roadmap.html – Ori Marko Dec 10 '19 at 14:39

Why it shouldn't? Java is backwards compatible and as long as software doesn't rely on removed APIs it should be running better on newer JDK/JRE. Moreover as per 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure article you should be using:

  1. The latest JMeter version
  2. The latest Java version (better 64-bit server JRE or JDK)
  3. The latest version of JMeter Plugins (if any are used in your tests)

Just in case you can get familiarized with Oracle JDK Migration Guide
