Flowable distribution with OpenJDK build

[bvedam]

Due to the recent changes in Oracle’s JDK licensing, I assume we all need to have a Flowable distribution built on OpenJDK. Has anyone successfully built Flowable from source using OpenJDK 8?

Your base image must not distribute Oracle’s JDK/JRE, make sure your base image uses OpenJDK.

An excerpt from: Choosing the Base Image for Java 8

@bvedam have you tried modifying the all-in-one Dockerfile to use a base image that includes the OpenJDK?

See:

• How to build Flowable
• Zulu for Alpine Linux

Hi,

will make a decision on what JDK we’ll use in our base image in time for the next release.
We’re open for discussion and input on which JDK flavour.

Regards,
