Description

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 -

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)

 

Solr's ref guide (  https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/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.
