Differences between OpenJDK and Oracle Java are minimal, and Oracle's Java build is based on the OpenJDK source - they develop in the OpenJDK tree.  OpenJDK is also the Java reference build, so _theoretically_ if there's a difference in behaviour it's a bug in Oracle's version :smile:\r\n\r\nI'd love to see Processing fully open (as distributed).  There are also certified OpenJDK builds for Windows and OSX by Azul (although not with OpenJFX). http://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/ "}}
