Open source tools have supported my Java learning and enabled cross platform development projects
Pros and Cons
  • "OpenJDK Java has saved me time and effort, being one of my main resources that is free to use and helpful as a student."

    What is our primary use case?

    From my first or second semester, I have been using OpenJDK Java on my local PC as part of my college journey and academic learning. I have been using OpenJDK Java for personal projects and during my internship, where I also work on a project utilizing OpenJDK Java mainly for developing and testing Java-based applications such as those in banking sectors and many other systems.

    In my third semester, I had one subject, OOPs, where I needed to perform practicals and create an application in Java. I mainly use OpenJDK Java because without it I cannot support my coding needs.

    My application relies on OpenJDK Java, as my source code is in Java. Without OpenJDK Java, I cannot manage or run the application or source code because OpenJDK Java is the installer package that is needed. Otherwise, I cannot run my simple code.

    For my internship, I only use OpenJDK Java for my college project. While working at my internship, I also needed OpenJDK Java for my college project. It is compatible with almost every development studio such as VS Code and IntelliJ IDEA, which is the Java software. I used both for my college project, starting with IntelliJ IDEA to run my source codes, and in the next semester, I had a subject on advanced Java, where I learned more about OpenJDK Java and Java.

    Throughout many subjects in my college academic journey, I needed OpenJDK Java as part of my role as a support engineer. It provides almost all the core features required for Java development, including support for OOPs concepts. For instance, in one subject called OOPs, I needed JDK support to perform my Java programming. I also use OpenJDK Java for database work in DBMS with MS SQL, needing it to run their workbench.

    What is most valuable?

    OpenJDK Java offers open-source capabilities, which are significant because my laptop runs on Windows while my friend's system uses macOS. It is open-source and cross-platform, which is beneficial as it supports every system when changing the Windows operating system. Therefore, these two features are among the best for me.

    I also appreciate the security updates provided by OpenJDK Java. When I download the JDK, it comes in a specific version, but subsequent updates resolve issues with earlier applications. It is continuously updating features, which is the best aspect of OpenJDK Java.

    OpenJDK Java also has strong community support, making it the best option for me. OpenJDK Java has saved me time and effort, being one of my main resources that is free to use and helpful as a student. It provides almost all the core features required for Java development, including OOPs concepts, exception handling, file management, and database connectivity.

    What needs improvement?

    Currently, OpenJDK Java is perfect for me, and I do not think any updates are needed. It works perfectly, and I do not want to add anything else to OpenJDK Java.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Since my first or second semester.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    OpenJDK Java is stable in my experience.

    OpenJDK Java is completely scalable and fully reliable for me.

    OpenJDK Java is fully scalable for my projects and organization.

    How are customer service and support?

    I find customer support to be perfect.

    How was the initial setup?

    I installed it on Ubuntu Linux, and the process was quite smooth using the default package manager.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    It saves me both money and time.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I did not evaluate other options before choosing OpenJDK Java.

    Robust platform has supported secure wallet backends and reduced development costs
    Pros and Cons
    • "Since using OpenJDK Java, I believe the cost has reduced by up to fifty percent."
    • "To improve OpenJDK Java, I wish for more AI integrations and support for AI and API integrations, as we need AI capabilities to build using Java."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for OpenJDK Java is to build Java backend code and backend logic. A specific example of a project where I used OpenJDK Java for backend logic is in my current organization, where we are using it to build our Deva code, which is an application that functions as a digital wallet.

    In addition to my main use case, while studying, I used JDK to build backend logic for my personal project, which is a form-fill assist application.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features OpenJDK Java offers include its own garbage collection system, as it automatically removes unused objects, which is an important feature.

    This feature has helped my development process because creating too many objects can lead to an out of memory situation, but the garbage collection efficiently deletes unused memory.

    OpenJDK Java stands out for its portability, as it runs on a write once, run everywhere principle due to its virtual memory and JVM, which converts every code into machine code, making it helpful to run code on any device.

    OpenJDK Java has positively impacted my organization by providing a large number of resources to find issues and creating a large environment that helps in many areas.

    Having a large environment and many resources has helped my team specifically when we tried to use Redis components, as we could consult previous blogs to maintain it, which was helpful for integrating other components into our code.

    What needs improvement?

    To improve OpenJDK Java, I wish for more AI integrations and support for AI and API integrations, as we need AI capabilities to build using Java.

    We would like to see better documentation of new features that are updated in OpenJDK Java.

    It would be great to provide AI-related features and proper documentation to study OpenJDK Java.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using OpenJDK Java for around three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    OpenJDK Java is very stable.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support for OpenJDK Java is very good, as they are happy to help us if we face any issues.

    We started our project with JDK only and did not previously use a different solution.

    How was the initial setup?

    We did not evaluate other options before choosing OpenJDK Java.

    What was our ROI?

    Since using OpenJDK Java, I believe the cost has reduced by up to fifty percent.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I am not sure if we purchased OpenJDK Java through the AWS Marketplace as that is handled by our DevOps team.

    I do not have prior experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for OpenJDK Java.

    What other advice do I have?

    OpenJDK Java has a large number of resources, allowing others to easily find solutions. I would rate this review as a nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Private Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
