![]() Oracle isn't the only enterprise software company that conducts audits. It's a common tactic used by all the giant enterprise software companies (Oracle, IBM, SAP, Microsoft). Prices range from $40 to $300 per user, or from $5,000 to $15,000 per processor on the computer running the software, Clarke reports. But if you want to use some of the tools that help you distribute the app to, says, Windows users, or use other advanced options, Oracle charges for that. Oracle obtained Java when it acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010. Using the programming language to write an app is free and always has been. It is incorrect to imply that it’s easy for users to accidentally use Java SE Advanced features. ![]() The licensing model and policies for Java SE have remained unchanged since before the acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Oracle is not ramping Java SE compliance activity or hiring of compliance staff. Oracle’s commitment to Java and its community remains stronger than ever, as shared recently at JavaOne. But it just changed its mind and sent us this statement saying the company isn't doing anything new: Oracle originally declined to comment on the reports it was increasingly targeting Java users (and it declined comment for The Register's article, too). ![]() Java is a programming language and a development platform for apps. The goal would be to find companies who have been using, but not paying for, the parts of that software that Oracle charges for.Īt issue is a hugely popular version of Java called Java Standard Edition (or Java SE), that anyone can download from the Oracle website, reports The Register's Gavin Clarke. Oracle is denying that it is increasing audits of customers using a flavor of its popular Java software that is mostly, but not completely, free.Įarlier this week, Business Insider reported on the industry scuttlebutt that Oracle had hired more people in its auditing department to help it target Java users. ![]() Any detailed information that could help attackers and other malicious parties was deliberately left out of the report.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. New Relic anonymized and deliberately coarse-grained the appropriate data to provide general overviews of the Java ecosystem. G1 was the favorite garbage collector for those who have left Java 8 behind.ĭata from New Relic’s report was drawn entirely from applications reporting to New Relic in January 2022 and does not provide a global picture of Java usage, the company said.More than 70% of Java applications reporting to New Relic do so from a container.Java 14, from 2020, is the most popular non-LTS release, but was in use in only. ![]() Only 2.7% of applications in production use non-LTS Java versions.Java 8, also an LTS release, came in second at 46.45%. A Long-Term Support release published in 2018, Java 11 is now used by more than 48% of applications in production, up from 11.11% in 2020. Java 11 has become the most commonly used Java version.Other findings in the 2022 State of the Java Ecosystem report: ![]()
