Information about using Java at Uppsala University
University IT Services can provide support for employees at UU who need to use Java to conduct their teaching or research. Currently, UIT recommends two different free-of-charge solutions for installing Java on your computer:
- Zulu OpenJDK
- AdoptOpenJDK
Regarding Java from Oracle
There was a change in the license management for Java from Oracle in April, 2019. This means that Java is no longer free to use for teaching or research at UU. Please do not install Java from Oracle on your computer without contacting itsupport@uu.se first. UIT is working with our suppliers to solve the licensing issue and again be able to offer Java from Oracle to those who need that specific solution for their operations.
Does your unit have specific requirements or needs? Contact IT Support if you need help choosing the solution that best suits your requirements.
