Hi

Is there any news on how Oracles decision to charge a licensing fee for the JRE will effect Cryptomator?

Thanks

I’m not aware of such announcement. Care to share a source?

Okay, that’s fine though. It appears to only affect Java 8. We’ve already changed everything to Java 9+. Cryptomator 1.4.0 shouldn’t be too far away now so this shouldn’t be an issue. Thank you for the info!

Also, beginning with JDK 11 we might be switching to OpenJDK anyway.
