Alternatives to Oracle JDK for local player and native mobile add-on setup

Hi,

I would like to know if using Azul or OpenJDK instead of Oracle JAVA JDK will suffice for the setup for local player and native mobile add on. The reason being, our firm has decided to transition away from using Oracle JAVA JRE/JDK due to the changes in licensing terms from Oracle which incurs additional licensing costs. Our preferred option is Azul. Please let us know if its possible and the steps to leverage the same.

Any updates on this?

Both open JDK and Azul JDK will work with local player. For Azul JDK, there is a small change in the configuration. We did some initial test and everything looks ok till version 11 of the JDK.

That's great. Please do let me know the exact steps required in the configuration for leveraging Azul JDK.

For now, just browse to where your local player is installed. Then open $LOCAL_PLAYER_HOME/conf/player.properties. Change "javaw" to "java".

However, we will be addressing this on our own packaging soon.

I cannot see 'javaw' anywhere in player.properties file.

Hi Raunak,

Apologies, the correct file is 'player.bat' which is available under $LOCAL_PLAYER_HOME/bin/player.bat
