If you require dedicated commercial support to Azul Zulu OpenJDK, please contact Azul for more details on Zulu Enterprise. Note that while users with Oracle Java subscription will get automatic updates, Azul Zulu OpenJDK community version is a volunteer driven effort with no dedicated commercial support and updates. We have been using Azul Zulu OpenJDK to run the search capabilities in our hosted Azure DevOps Services for a while now so we are confident that search will work seamlessly with Azul Zulu OpenJDK for our on-premises customers also.įrom the next major version of TFS (Azure DevOps Server 2019), customers selecting installation of Java during install time will have Azul Zulu OpenJDK 8 community version as the default option. We’ve heard from lots of customers wanting other options and we’re happy to announce that TFS Search is now supported with Azul Zulu OpenJDK, allowing you to choose between Azul Zulu OpenJDK and Oracle JRE based on your needs. With the change in Oracle licensing terms, there will be no more “free public Java updates” and users are required to buy a subscription to continue to get JRE updates for commercial use. Until now, Oracle Java SE was the supported version of JRE for TFS search. The search feature of Team Foundation Server (TFS) uses Elasticsearch, which depends on Java SE.
