Oracle Java SE

Oracle Java SE is suited for web portal development, various mobile app development or Andriod, developing endpoints and API including REST and SOAP web services, OSGi fragmentation, and many more. A huge number of tools are Java as backend programming to add on the feature and functionality to their tool.

Use java where you need a strongly typed, compiled, platform independent, consistent and reliable language for enterprise applications. You will easily be able to run your code on multiple platforms without making any changes to the code. Pair it with spring boot and you will have a robust web and API development framework.

Java is well suited for an application that needs to focus on applying business logic and rapid feature development. Java is lacking when performance and computing resources are constrained.

Great support for Oracle and the open-source community

With the introduction of Graal VM based native containerization of your Java application, there is no way not to recommend using Oracle Java; also with Oracle Java JDK becoming free for production usage, more people can use it in production with the ease of mind knowing that libraries their code is reaching out to, are top-notch for safety and performance.

Enterprise level, web applications, security concerned application, embedded systems, cloud-based applications, best design patterns, and good programming standards are the places where [Oracle Java SE] is best suited. [Oracle Java SE] is best for large applications that could be broken down [into] microservices and can fulfill all the required implementations and support for EE.

It depends on the technology on which the team is working. If you need to develop software with respect to object-oriented programming principles, Java is one of the best programming languages available. One can use Angular and other frameworks for the front end and Java as a back end.

Oracle Java SE is well suited to long-running applications (e.g. servers). Java Swing (UI toolkit) is now rather outdated, lacking support for modern UI features. JavaFX, the potential replacement for Swing, has now been separated out of Java core. Ideally, there would be a path to migrate a large application incrementally from Swing to JavaFX, but due to different threading models and other aspects, it is difficult. At this point, it is probably better to use an embedded web browser (e.g. JxBrowser) to provide a modern UI in HTML/Javascript and keep just the business logic in Java.

It is possible to submit bugs to the Java development team, although they aren't always addressed in a timely manner. It would be better if you could comment on tickets in the bug database (at least on the ones you entered). You can update your own tickets, but the process is clunky. There is paid support available, but we don't use that. It is also possible to become a contributor to the OpenJDK project.

Java is secure, scalable and portable (you can run Java applications in different operative systems).

I have not used the support.

Java is without a doubt the language of choice for core and mission-critical services and applications. It's been a key enabler for our migration to microservices.

There is a lot to be improved in terms of support. Wish that could be better.

Oracle Java SE is well suited for scientific applications. One of its biggest strengths is that it combines scientific opportunities with enterprise stability, scalability and security.

And for machine learning, data science, etc. less appropriate.

I didn't need standard support, I solved most of my problems over the internet.

Oracle Java SE is the most popular program language and it suitable for almost kind of application and special for the big system which needs to separate into many sub-application with different business and deployment types as Java has many frameworks, libraries, and tools. Many of these are open-source tools by the community and support various integration types from Rest, SOAP API, RMI, File access... It has allowed me to be able to deploy in multiple OS without changing the code. In case the Application needs to deeply access hardware such as the driver, memory address, OS thread or needs to strickly manage memory such as allocating, pointing and deallocating, we needed another programming language.

The support from the community is great. We are able to find the design solution, the example of code for specifying logic, ready application architecture from the community, and when we have a problem or issue we are able to find similar questions and answers on the internet.

If your organization is looking to create enterprise-level applications through a object-oriented method of programming. OS-independent applications, Android mobile applications, PoS systems, and Big Data programs are perfect scenarios where you would probably want to use Java. However, if your application needs to be lightweight and extremely fast performance, then Java SE might be too bulky for your use-case.

Java SE is extremely widely known. A good share of all companies have some solutions using Java. As a result, the support and updates for Java are excellent.

One of the best tools for SOA.

It has a real good documentation on the internet, I never needed to contact official support.

From the smallest apps to the most complex web applications, the Java family provides a stable base for any projects. I would say it is one of the languages that every programmer must know at least a little... SE is also a great tool to teach new programmers.

Honestly, I never really needed support for Java from official sources, most of the times Stack Overflow was sufficient. The mere number of ppl around the world who are using it is more than enough support.

Server-side applications are a perfect fit for Oracle Java. Graphical User Interface heavy apps are not that good, since OS native languages are a better solution. Cloud-based applications, especially Lambda/Function-based are fine, however, slow startup may be problematic.

We've never encountered any problems with support.

It's not particularly appropriate for people who want a quick introduction to programming but don't intend to pursue programming seriously.

Since its introduction in the mid-1990s, Java has been an excellent way to introduce students to the discipline of computer programming.

Suitable for:

• Business applications.
• Tools when startup time is not critical.
• Applications that benefit from a huge ecosystem of open-source mature libraries.
• When easy hiring is important.

Consider alternatives with:

• Serverless applications (cold start with Java can be considerable, look into Go, Node for better performance).
• Developing in Kubernetes Cloud ecosystem-- there, most tools use Go.
• Big Data processing -- consider Scala and Python.
• Data science -- consider Python.
• Low-level highly performant code without Garbage Collector -- consider Rust and C++.

Java is such a mature product at this point that there is little support from the vendor that is needed. Various sources on the internet, and especially StackOverflow, provide a wealth of knowledge and advice.
Areas that may benefit from support is when dealing with complex multithreading issues and security libraries.

Java (and Spring) is great for large scale applications or large volumes of microservices. However, it is limited in usability for small quick applications. The boilerplate can be daunting.

Most of the best support comes from the community. As such, I don't know that I feel Oracle provides the right kind of balance outside the pay wall.

Less suited for cloud and more suited for in-house development. It's a very powerful and universally accepted language. Also it has various tools that support Java and also several integrations are possible. Every version of Java has more features built and hence it's recommended software. The universally accepted and unicode language is Java. Java is the best software language.

Java is good for larger applications. It's good when the user doesn't want to care about memory management as the garbage collector will handle all that. It's also good as a teaching tool for people who are new to software development how to do it. It's the first language I was taught and my most favorite.

I don't have an opinion on this as I do not recall the last time I have had to contact Oracle support.

In education, if you are teaching at university level, or in the later years in school, Java is a good choice.
If, on the other hand, you teach younger learners, Java is probably not the language you want. Free text editing is too hard for really young ones, and the concepts can overwhelm. I'd say, from age 16 upwards, use Java.

The Java community is open. The JCP allows people to get involved. It is easy to get information.

Oracle Java SE is well suited for most internet solutions, including software development, online services, data streaming processing pipeline, offline warehouse, and big data analysis. Its rich ecosystem really enables most all the imaginable problems we face in both large and small scale, both online and offline. The only downside might be that the the ecosystem might be a little overwhelming to begin with.

I have never gotten a satisfactory response from Oracle support for my questions.

I think Oracle Java SE is a good fit for large scale applications. It's not a very good fit if you just need a small application with high performance.

We don't run into many issues in general with Java SE.

When a team needs to run a cross-platform high-level software that does little to none to direct control of lower-level hardware, Java is the way to go.

The community is massive, and a lot of resources can be easily accessed.

Java is well suited for large scale applications that will benefit from having a large community.

The reasoning they give for some of the reasons brought up was not sufficient in my opinion.
