Liberica JDK Reviews & Product Details

Knowledge, friendliness, perseverance. The team at BellSoft has a knack for finding and fixing bugs, especially those that other providers classify as "won't fix" or "not our bug". We've been fighting bugs in the 2D graphics and printing APIs and other JDK support providers fell flat. Furthermore, BellSoft has been in the industry for long enough that they're also quick to offer adjacent industry advice, such as help with bundling a JDK for distribution.

The only downside to using a 3rd-party for JDK support is getting buy-in from upstream. This is NEVER the fault of BellSoft and BellSoft goes above and beyond to be responsive and complaint to upstream needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Liberica JDK as the base for our Spring Boot buildpack-based Docker images across more than 70 services. It’s been stable and reliable in production. The migration from Zulu JDK was smooth, and we haven’t encountered a single compatibility issue. It’s easy to use, well-supported by the Spring ecosystem, and integrates flawlessly with the Spring Boot Maven plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there’s nothing we dislike about Liberica JDK. It’s stable, reliable, and just works. What’s surprising is how few developers seem to know that Spring Boot recommends it by default. It deserves more attention, considering how well it performs in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Liberica JDK bacause of the JavaFX and support of GraalVM. I used it to develop and distribute an educational desktop application for our client.
