title: Changes required to migrate from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK
body: <p>We are planning to migrate our project from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK. I have some questions regarding the same.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>After doing some analysis I found that <code>OpenJDK will have a feature release every 6 months which is only supported until the next feature release.It's essentially a continuous stream of releases targeted to developers.</code> Now my question is will it be a good idea to migrate to OpenJDK. Because if the 
  above statement is correct then we need to upgrade OpenJDK in our application every 6 months</p>

  <li><p>What are the basic changes required to do this migration. When I say basic changes, I mean I need to understand in very high level.One thing I know that is 
  Oracle JDK and Open JDK are having different jar licences. So do I need to replace all Oracle JDK jars with OpenJDK jars as its mentioned in
