In my daily experience, the openjdk does not correctly run lots of
java(ws) apps I need to get my work done whereas the sun/oracle jre
does. Maybe it is an app problem (probably, most developpers only test
the oracle jre), but I stll need to get the job done :-) and install
the 'official' oracle jre.
