Building OpenJDK 13 and OpenJDK 14 on Solaris 11

Building OpenJDK 13 and OpenJDK 14 on Solaris 11

Abstract:

Java was created by Sun Microsystems and delivered a platform to build compatible platform & set of services which applications could be built upon, regardless of CPU Architecture or Vendor Operating System. This promise exists today.

Building OpenJDK

Java was Open Sourced by Oracle. In a previous article, it was discussed how JDK 8 is used to build both OpenJDK 11 & OpenJDK 12. Further efforts have been exercised, some half year later, to build OpenJDK 13 and OpenJDK 14 on modern operating systems like Oracle 11.

Conclusions:

Java continues to demonstrate it's relevance as an platform to maintain existing Managed Services and Enterprise based applications. As long as Java continues to offer a multi-platform and multi-operating system based, it will have a long life!
