RE: With JDK 17, Oracle moves back to a free license

Agreed – also how I read it For any vendor working around Java, this doesn’t really change much. You cannot bundle in an app you charge for, or use as part of a service you charge for. At first, I though this might just be if you try to charge a fee for the JDK part itself. But the wording seem

Unable to add Persistence 3.0 provider

Hello everyone, First of all, thank you for your work on the IDE and your support on this concrete matter. The problem I currently have is that I am trying to add a new persistence provider for the 3.0 Persistence API, but the IDE seems to be unable to recognise the libraries as valid. I have tri
