Two part question...
I've read in other posts that Apple's personal version of Java is
deprecated. If I am running lion and already their personal
version installed, what problems will occur if I install the version 7
from Oracle. Will it run out of the box or will there be conflicts?
What configuration is necessary. Will I loose the apple look and feel
by default on apps.
Is Java DB installed by default with the Apple version of the JDK. Is it installed with the Oracle version for OSX Lion?
Thanks :-)
The official Oracle Java 7 will be out later this year It's not currently supported on the mac.
It's not, but since it's just a repacking of Apache Derby, you can go grab that
As you mentioned, Apple will no longer release their own version Java/JDK implementation for OSX. OpenJDK project will take over its role. Please take a look at project websites below.

Today I wanted to install on a new computer the Android SDK with the "Command Line Tool" from the official site.
As I remember Android SDK only supports Java 8. Now I noticed Java 8 is dead since January (eol).
So what should I do, if I want to install the Android SDK without Android Studio and being a private person that doesn't own an Oracle (business) account? (which you need if you want to download eol jdk's)
Thank you in advance.
You can get an old JDK from Oracle but as you pointed out its only available with a licence: JDK 8
And you can always use the OpenJDK: Open JDK (Every Java Version)
https://adoptopenjdk.net currently supports all distributions of JDK from version 8 onwards.
For example
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html#x64_win
Here's an example of how I was able to use JDK version 8 with sdkmanager and much more:

We are planning to migrate our project from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK. I have some questions regarding the same.
After doing some analysis I found that OpenJDK will have a feature release every 6 months which is only supported until the next feature release.It's essentially a continuous stream of releases targeted to developers. Now my question is will it be a good idea to migrate to OpenJDK. Because if the
above statement is correct then we need to upgrade OpenJDK in our application every 6 months
Ref : Differences between Oracle JDK and OpenJDK
What are the basic changes required to do this migration. When I say basic changes, I mean I need to understand in very high level.One thing I know that is
Oracle JDK and Open JDK are having different jar licences. So do I need to replace all Oracle JDK jars with OpenJDK jars as its mentioned in
Migrating to OpenJDK from Oracle JDK ?
Currently we are using :
JDK 1.8
Tomcat 8
Windows Operating System for development. Services gets deployed in linux OS
Maven Build tool
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Now my question is will it be a good idea to migrate to OpenJDK
For Java 11 you might want to, though by Java 11 they will be almost identical.
So do I need to replace all Oracle JDK jars with OpenJDK jars
I would install a version of OpenJDK and use the JARs which came with it. I wouldn't mix and match them.
JDK 1.8
I am not sure gain anything by migrating Java 8. Oracle Java 8 is still supported at least until Jan 2019. After that, you might not get any update, but you might not with OpenJDK either.
If your concern is getting support for Java 8, I suggest contacting a company which will give commercial support Java 8 such as Azul for what seemed like a reasonable price. https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulu-windows/
I have run across these two options, what to install in my mac and still not well understand the difference between the "SDK provided by Sun" and the "Java for Mac Development Package".
Obviously, I do java programming, but "Java for Mac Development Package" downloaded from developer.apple.com only supports version up to 6 (they call 10.6 for some reason), while the one provided by Sun is of version 7.
Can someone, please, explain to me, from the perspectives of a Java developer: (1) What are the differences between the two? (2) which one should I install?
The only advantage I know from the apple's version is I can have access to the source code, while the one from Sun does not provide that, so when I need to look the the source code of Java in eclipse, I need the Apple's version.
Which JDK version will support windows xp? I am installed android studio on windows xp service pack 2 32bit, and it asks for jdk. i am also downloaded jdk 8u5 windows i586 version. While opening the exe file i am getting an error message . This is error :
The procedure entry point RegDeleteKeyExA could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll
JDK 7 is supported on Windows XP.
Installer of JDK8 does not allow JDK8 to be installed on WinXP. But as far as I know there's no technical problem to run JDK8 on WinXP if you install it.
Oracle has dropped support for windows xp.
From Oracle page
Note: As of April 8, 2014 Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP and therefore it is no longer a supported platform. See Third Party Vendor-Specific Support Terms on Oracle Software Technical Support Policies for details.
Even though the java binaries are compatible the installer is not. You can either use an older java version like JDK 7 or 6 or you may try step given in this link.
You can find good step by step solution with screenshot here.
You can try JDK 6 or JDK 7.

Installing java for casual java developers has always been something of a minefield. E.g. do we need SE or EE edition for say STS/Grails, do we need the SDK or JDK? I am pretty sure I need the JDK 1.7 for EE edition. The question is, how do I get the JDK without the bloated SDK? My understanding of the SDK it that its additional tools such as glassfish, something I have no need for. Space on my SSD is a premium.
The oracle EE download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/index.html
only seems to allow you to download the JDK AND SDK, is there any way to install just the JDK?
I already have the 64 bit JDK installed, but sadly, STS only works with 32 bit (on windows). Will these conflict when I install both?
You can download JDK 7 here
The Java SDK and JDK are different you can check here difference between them
You can download any version of JDK from this oracle archive link, To download older version of JDK please register in the on click on download link
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 4 is the reference implementation of the Java EE 7 specification. So you can never download Java EE itself like you do with Java SE by downloading the JDK, but you always download an application server implementing it.
