How compatible is OpenJRE/JDK 1.8.x vs OracleJRE/JDK 1.8.x?
Looks like all Linux distros only have available OpenJDK.
How do them compare today? Can I just go with OpenJDK for server related things (Jenkins, Java web frameworks like Play, Vertx, etc)?
Or should I still go with Oracle JDK/JRE to be safe?
