Considering that Java is one of the integral part of the Open-Source community

This is a good chance to change that.

I'm actually angry at Oracle. Sun was the last IT company with good products, driven by a unique vision and a team of very creative people. Oracle bought them to get MySQL out of their way - and they killed off everything else.

Larry Ellison is the only person in the world who deserves to be slapped in the face.

Yeah it is a good chance to change that but I guess we can improve the ecosystem by adopting to OpenJDK

Oracle have not been as bad with Java as they have with their other acquisitions. Java development progressed at a much faster pace with Java 7 - 11 coming out and some hitherto unthinkable features like lambdas added.

That said, I don't trust Oracle with anything. This comment summarizes Oracle and Larry Ellison pretty well.
