What does "doesn't support" mean? Does it not run at all? (whats

reports when someone uses openjdk but it otherwise works?

My experience has been that they're quite closed-lipped about OpenJDK. They don't care about bug reports, no, but they also state that there are 'known issues' when running under OpenJDK. I tried just today and it does run, but I was finding that it would hang fairly frequently and I'd have to kill -s 9 it.

To be fair, stability using Oracle's JDK isn't great at the moment: ibus doesn't seem to want to play nicely, which doesn't hang the app, but does prevent keyboard input. Restarting ibus then crashes the app. I don't know whether this is actually an ibus problem though, and the OpenJDK hangs vs. the Oracle JDK crashes are symptoms of the same problem being handled differently.
