Aug 29, 2018 at 4:06 comment added Atul Sureka @nvoigt - security patch would not be available for free for Java 8 after Jan 2019, check this link. One has to buy commercial license/support for it. oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/eol-135779.html
Aug 29, 2018 at 4:05 comment added Atul Sureka I do not want to use OpenJDK (as security patches may not be available in timely manner). Java 9 is already obsolete with the release of Java 10.

Aug 28, 2018 at 19:42 comment added Rogério As far as I can tell, Java SE still is and will continue to be free for commercial use. From that link in the question: "I am using OpenJDK builds from Oracle, or Oracle JDK builds free already, how will Java SE Subscription affect me? The Java SE Subscription does not impact your use of OpenJDK or the Oracle JDK in any way – continue as you were!"

Aug 28, 2018 at 13:24 comment added gumol As the other comment suggest, please mention why you cannot use openJDK. Also give us a bit of background on why your RESTful service needs to be deployed on your customer site
Aug 28, 2018 at 12:40 comment added Bart van Ingen Schenau If you are considering switching to .NET, have you also considered upgrading your Java version to 9 or 10. The announcement from Oracle is only that Java 8 is "end of life".

Aug 28, 2018 at 12:06 comment added nvoigt Can you explain why you think you need a subscription? Surely, security updates for the current Java version will be available to everybody?
Aug 28, 2018 at 12:02 comment added amon lol you can simply use other JVM distributions like OpenJDK, no need to pay Oracle unless you need guaranteed support periods. Figuring out how to do timely JVM updates might be a lot cheaper than porting your code…
Aug 28, 2018 at 11:55 comment added Matteo Ugolotti If cost is an important constraint for you, I would suggest you to consider also .NET Core, as you could easily host your application on Linux.
