Thingworx 9.0 forces the use of Oracle Java SE Subscription License

Hi all,

I was a little shocked that Thingworx 9.0 requires JDK 8U241 or higher.

No alternative support for OpenJDK or Coretto is available.

As a consequence every commercial user upgrading or installing Thingworx 9.0 is forced to purchase Oracle Java SE Subscription Licenses which might be quite expensive depending on the underlying architecture.

Does anybody know about any plans to support Open JDK or Amazon Coretto in upcoming releases of Thingworx?

ThingWorx 9.1 is released today and includes Open JDK Coretto as supported platform. Have fun and lets close this topic.

Hi @OCMutz.

 

I'm happy to advise that support for OpenJDK is coming in a future release. Once more details are known regarding the target date/release, I will post an update.

 

Regards.

    @slangley How long will that take? 9.0.x or 9.1 or 10? Thingworx 9 is now available, but most customer will not upgrade because of that hot java topic. I don't know any SME  which is willing to pay Oracle for those licenses. Especially it they run just Thingworx Navigate. Windchill is now compatible with Amazon Corretto. Please provide any roadmap, so the customer can plan their upgrade.
