10/22/2018, 11:15 AMYou should still run on top of jdk11 or else you'll be missing security and performance enhancements.
Openjdk is free and the same as the Oracle one, but without paid support.

10/22/2018, 12:58 PMYou can get free builds of the OpenJDK source via Zulu (from Azul), AdoptOpenJDK, etc

10/22/2018, 12:58 PMIt's only Oracle's build of that source that is no longer free

10/22/2018, 12:59 PMI've been using Zulu for years since its friendly licensing means you can easily incorporate it into your product (as part of a container image, for instance)

10/22/2018, 1:03 PMYou can also get them directly from Oracle. https://jdk.java.net Follow the JDK11 link on the page, and that’s the open source, GNU licensed version.
They then provide links to closed-source, commercially licensed versions

10/23/2018, 4:11 PM@Ming A Qi i’m afraid there’s a confusion between the JDK - the platform, and java - the language
you still need a JDK if you want to write kotlin
