I am forced to using Java on my server and I am having a headache installing Java. I have an automated deployment script which installs the software and needs to be run to reinstall the server regularly in the cloud.
I am so stuck on which route to go down. So my question is, am I right to be concerned about the performance of OpenJDK? I am using this for a SOLR search server.
The current three options
OpenJDK7
- Easy to automate install
- Fairly fast
- Fairly stable
Sun JDK6
- Easy to automate install
- Fairly fast
- Fairly stable
Oracle JDK7
- Nearly impossible to automate install
- Fast
- Stable
