OpenJDK vs. SAP Extension Suite (discontinued)

Actually, from a software engineer's point of view, JDK is nothing fancy to think of / talk about. It's just there & it works. Until he/she has to set up a project from scratch, together with the build tool, a JDK has to be chosen. Also, when doing deployment work, having a reliable, readily available JDK to install to target systems is a blessing. Still, Oracle could have done a better job supporting OpenJDK, especially for commercial usage.
