Blue Screen with one of the following messages: windows system error STATUS_WAIT_2 0x80070002 or windows system error STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003

>PROBLEM

When rebooting the machine, returned blue screen with the following message:

  windows system error STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003

Another attempt, returned another message:

  windows system error STATUS_WAIT_2 0x80070002

  

>SCENARIO

The machine was very, very slow, and once in a while appeared "bad clusters". This situation took several weeks. During all this time, the checklist below passed:

HD fragmentation: OK

HD S.M.A.R.T. status and test: OK

Scandisk: no errors, OK

Antivirus: disabled during the tests.

Unexpected processes consuming CPU's resources: none

Internet connection: disabled

All programs closed, just the usual services were turned on.

Hardware temperature: OK

Windows Registry: OK

Suddenly, when a reboot is done, the blue screen with the messages.

All attempts possible were performed — all "Windows Recovery" options failed, returning messages like "not possible", "done but failed", and things like that. Fixing reboot, cloning a new reboot partition from a backup HD, attempt to restore an image or restore the system from a "restore point" and etc. had failed.

>SOLUTION

The HD was removed from the slot and inserted back twice.

An intermittent bad contact caused maybe by slight oxidation, dust, vibration, etc. was causing the unexpected "bad blocks".

In this scenario, the Windows system made an automatic update that was not able to get to the end.

Considering the two problems together plus interrupted update procedure, the mess was complete.

The solution came, after solving the contact issue, let Windows finishes the update. Long and twice, but the issue was solved but the system was inconsistent, missing several DLLs, requiring more one more solution.

This time at least was possible to restore to a previous point before the unlucky Windows update and perform again that required update.

When rare events happen to get together at the same time, just Murphy explains!  :-)

Eventually, the system was up and running again!

Well done Windows!!! Wow!!!

Git: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote counterpart

 

>PROBLEM

Git push fails returning "Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote counterpart...".

 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)

error: failed to push some refs to .. SOME DIR PATH

hint: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote

hint: counterpart. Check out this branch and integrate the remote changes

hint: (e.g. 'git pull ...') before pushing again.

hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

>SOLUTION

Following the hint suggested in the output:

  git push --help

The --force option solves:

  git push --force origin master

  

Because it was behind the counterpart, it may cause some side effect on log.

When performed the command, everything was fine, no issues, but another client had to push with --force flag too, but no further issues.

Slow Machine? Warn Up - Check this before it is too late

 >PROBLEM

Defragmentation is OK, there is no strange process taking the CPU for itself, no virus, but the desktop or notebook is very slow, much more than usual and, it seems that it get worse every month.

Also, you have noticed that the system requires HD fixes, leading to scans to fix block references, more frequently than usual.

>SOLUTION

"Your HD, in this case is very fond of you!"  :-)

It probably has been trying to warn you that it is supposed to end its life soon.

Time to make backup of all your stuff to an external HD or to make a revision of your data's backup routines to make sure everything is up to date.

Consider making a clone of your HD to be used when the current one is dead, or to replace it.

There are good apps for this, free or paid:

Free: HD Clone, Disk Genius
Paid: DriveClone, EaseUS Partition Master

TIP

If you have a big number of files, not qualitatively but quantitatively, not big files in size but numerous files, this condition stress the HD. That way, if the HD is old, having many hours of intense activities (working during the day and scheduled backups during the night), bad blocks are generated more frequently, leading to the required scans asked by the system.

If you have split your HD into two partitions, for instance, "C:" for Windows and "D:" for data, you get a better chance to solve this issue and gain more time until the HD replacement by moving your data on "D:" partition to another disk and deleting D:.
In this case, the HD will be less required and the issue may slow down, giving you an extra time before the HD substitution, something that may save you time, money and opportunity.

I've solved recently an issue like this just deleting the data partition. The HD got half work to do, so the situation became bearable. On the remaining free space, I cloned the "C:", getting to "C:" partitions on the same disk, but one of them disable at a time. If the HD's initial boot is preserved, when the active "C:" partition is gone, you may switch to the other just activating it. After you finish your work, you may clone the active "C:" partition to replace the defective one.
This saved me many hours during an urgent work that I couldn't stop for long maintenance and enabled me to deliver the task on time.

Always consider using different partitions for the system and the data, even if working with other S.O. different of Windows.

MariaDB: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

>PROBLEM

This procedure resets the MariaDB root password when it is not possible to access the database returning:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

>SOLUTION

- Stop database:
sudo systemctl stop mariadb

- Test:
sudo systemctl status mariadb

You shall get;
Status: "MariaDB server is down"
To return to console, use Ctrl+C

- This command shall return empty:
sudo pgrep mysqld

- Starting the database using safe mode:
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
or
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

"Enter" to return to prompt.

USING A TEMPORARY PASSWORD

- Entering the database prompt without user or password:

mysql -u root

use mysql;
flush privileges;
update user SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('secret') WHERE USER='root';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON root.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
flush privileges;
quit

- kill all mysqld processes
sudo pgrep mysqld

- Kill by the PID numbers returned, for example:
sudo kill -9 1234
sudo kill -9 4567

- Start the database:
sudo systemctl start mariadb

WHEN THE DATABASE FAILS TO START

 

During the start, if it hangs, it is necessary to kill all processes. 

It happens when some process is left behind, not being killed.

Unfortunately, sometimes when killing the processes doesn't work because another new process starts just after, I just got solution rebooting the machine even though using killall, etc.

 

- To check:

sudo systemctl status mariadb

TESTING AND SWITCHING TO DEFINITIVE PASSWORD

 

- Access the database again to test the "secret" temporary password and also to change to the definitive password:

mysql -u root -p
pass: secret

use mysql;
flush privileges;
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('MY_DEFINITIVE_PASSWORD') WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON root.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
quit

 

- Access the database again to test the definitive password:
mysql -u root -p
pass: MY_DEFINITIVE_PASSWORD

***NOTE:

If after switching to the definitive password, the problem comes back denying access, it is because the characters used in the password caused the issue.
Avoid password like this:
Abc1234#-_ (the -_ didn't work during my attempts)
For sure, use a password with just numbers and letters.
To get confidence, repeat the procedure.
If you desire to use special chars, you may try after making sure that you got success at least once, that way you may discover which special char to avoid in your password.

Wi-Fi modem/router fails to connect via wi-fi or RJ-45

 

>PROBLEM

The "ZTE MF253L LTE Wireless" Wi-Fi modem/router sometimes fails to accept Wi-Fi connections and comes with issues when using RJ-45.

A very odd defect that occurred after some years of usage.

>SOLUTION

Sometimes it is interesting to improve a modem/router that it is not that good than buying a new one.

ZTE MF253L has not a wide signal range but works well.

Instead of buying another modem/router, I decided to use a tp-link Wireless N 450Mbps router, model TL-WR940N, connected to the ZTE's internet output, using the RJ-45 cable.

The TL-WR940N model has a good signal range.

Now, I connect the notebooks direct to the tp-link router, instead of to the ZTE's, solving the connection issues. No more problems, at all.

Sometimes, when the ZTE's direct connection is not failing, it is possible to use it without the tp-link, but it is not an advantage at all, but remains as an alternative in case of a casual tp-link failure. 

When the provider's connection fails, the Window's wi-fi connections keeps the tp-link router active waiting and as soon as the connection is on again and nothing is changed on the notebooks connected to the tp-link.

This saves time when the failures are short.

If not, you may connect to the tp-link another modem/router using another number, a second option when you have it, without changing clients' configurations. If you have many machines, it helps a lot.

For some reason, sometimes Windows fails to reconnect the Wi-Fi, forcing to do a reboot.
This workaround also avoids this reboot.

>SOLUTION

The issue is caused by port collision. In this case Apache is already using port 80.

The tip is given by the log at line:

nginx[21405]: nginx: [emerg] listen() to 0.0.0.0:80

Switch Nginx or Apache to another port.
In this case, Nginx is switched to port 81.

1. Edit:

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Switch from:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;

To:

server {
listen 81 default_server;
listen [::]:81 default_server;

 

2. Start nginx

systemctl start nginx

3. Test:

nginx -t

>EXTRA

If desired to reinstall Nginx, uninstall first:

apt update

apt purge nginx
apt autoremove

- verifying dependencies:
apt -f install

Clients fail to Connect Debian on VMWare Virtual Machine

>PROBLEM

VMWare has ping to host but host has not ping to the VMWare running Debian.

>SOLUTION

There are three things to observe.

First, you must make sure that the VMWare network interface configuration is correct.
Summarizing: it is required two interfaces at least.
One for the Internet that it is mapped to NAT, and a second to access a local network, for instance, that shall be mapped to the local interface on your host. If Windows, you may access the network interfaces using the command: ncpa.cpl.

Map in the network interfaces using the same order.
For instance, if the guest is a Debian and has eth0 (Internet) and eth1(local), map the network adapters in VMWare's settings using the same order. 

Additional information, you get here.
https://appuals.com/fix-vmware-bridged-network-not-working/

Second, check the network icon to make sure it active and not "unmanaged".

If it is deactivated (unmanaged), do:

sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Set false to true:

Update, restarting service:

service network-manager restart

More detailed information, you get in this video.

Third, restart the virtual machine without using Ctrl+E. Use its shutdown button.
Try to ping your VM:
ping 10.0.0.XX

If it fails, restart Windows. 

IMPORTANT NOTE

Remember two extra concerns:

- Firewall configuration (host and guest/VM)

- VPN 
Sometimes the VPN impedes the access.
Test disconnecting the VPN.

JPA entity removal fails silently

>PROBLEM

The JPA remove command was silently ignored.

There was no delete statement on server's output even though the show_sql was enabled:

 

<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"></property>

 

 

The issue was around an OneToMany relation where:

todo 1 --- * todoitem

 

Attempt to delete an instance on any side fails silently, without having the respective "delete" command on the server's output and no exception message of any type.

 

>SOLUTION

 

First, I switched the many side's code suggested by the Wildfly18/JBoss documentation in its examples from:

 

//    @Override

//    public void delete(Todoitem todoitem) {

//        if (todoitem == null) {

//            return;

//        }

//        if (!emPg.contains(todoitem)) {

//            todoitem = emPg.merge(todoitem);

//        }

//        emPg.remove(todoitem);

//        emPg.flush();

//        emPg.clear();

//    }

    

To an equivalent form:

 

    @Override

    public void delete(Todoitem todoitem) {

        if (todoitem == null) {

            return;

        }

        Todoitem ti = emPg.find(Todoitem.class, todoitem.getId());

        if(ti == null) {

            return;

        }

        emPg.remove(ti);

        emPg.flush();

        emPg.clear();

    }

 

Unfortunately, I got the same result - removal silently ignored.

 

Then, I suspected of the database, since hibernate handles its own keys. I had done many tests during implementation...

To be sure about the consistency issues, I've decided to empty the database deleting the content of both sides of the relation.

Then I created new entity instances and relations using the application's resources (no SQL command) since everything was working well except for entity removal.

After, I checked the database relations using SQL command to make sure everything was fine, and it was.

 

Next, I tried a new test again but this time it was successful.

Then I reverted the code, uncommenting the commented code and vice-versa and tested again.
The test failed again, returning same result — silently ignoring remove.

I set back the code to the previous condition testing again to confirm results.
The confirmations was successful, confirming suspicion of two issues, database and code implementation.

 

Since good news, I repeated the same to the "One" side (code below - the commented code is the initial one inherited from Wildfly 18 documentation, as above mentioned). 

 

From:

//    @Override

//    public void delete(Todo todo) {

//        if(todo == null) {

//            return;

//        }

//        if (!emPg.contains(todo)) {

//            todo = emPg.merge(todo);

//        }

//        //todoitemDao.deleteAll(todo);

//        emPg.remove(todo);

//        emPg.flush();

//    }

 

 

To:

    

    @Override

    public void delete(Todo todo) {

        if (todo == null) {

            return;

        }

        Todo t = emPg.find(Todo.class, todo.getId());

        if(t == null) {

            return;

        }

        emPg.remove(t);

        emPg.flush();

        emPg.clear();

    }

 

 

Issue solved. Success.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

Check the removal tests by using the SQL statements straight on the database.

Sometimes the instance seems not being removed due to cache issue or code implementation fault, requiring to be treated apart.

</persistence>

 

>SOLUTION

After some failures, I've decided to repeat the same configuration but doing the things in a different order.
The following order was successful:

1. Refactor the code that concerns the primary persistent-unit (or the the initial persistent-unit, whatever the name it has).

2. Create a qualifier to this first perstent-unit.

3. Refactor the dao layer in order to apply the its qualifier where the entity maneger is injected.

4. Recompile the project and perfome a full deploy.

5. Start the server and test.

6. Stop the server

7. If not successful, fix the code revising from step 1.

8. if successful, add the second persistent-unit to persistence.xml file.

9. Create the  database manager class, its qualifier, the entities and dao layer always using the respective qualifier for the second persistent-unit to differ from the initial code implemented for the first persistent-unit.

10. Recompile the project and perfome a full deploy.

11. Start the server and test.

[ERROR] Non-resolvable import POM: Failure to find org.wildfly.bom:wildfly-jakartaee8-with-tools:pom:20.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT

>PROBLEM

After download of Wildfly QuickStart Examples (https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart), the attempt to run the command
mvn clean package -Pdocs
to generate documentation, fails and returns:

Non-resolvable import POM: Failure to find org.wildfly.bom:wildfly-jakartaee8-with-tools:pom
[ERROR] Non-resolvable import POM: Failure to find org.wildfly.bom:wildfly-jakartaee8-with-tools:pom:20.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT in https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of jboss-public-repository-group has elapsed or updates are forced @ org.wildfly.quickstarts:quickstart-parent:20.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT, L:\work\devcli_\java\lab\jsf\wildfly_quickstart-master\pom.xml, line 106, column 25 -> [Help 2]

>SOLUTION

Inspecting the repository defined by the pom.xml:

repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/
and it respective package was not found:

I tried to find another repository containing 20.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT version, but it was being time consuming, so after "time out" I've decide that the most practical solution would be use the last final version.

That way the pom.xml file was switched to 19.0.1.Final version and the commands executed successfully.

SOURCES

Original pom.xml
wildfly_quickstarts_20_0_0_Beta1-SNAPSHOT
L:\transp\1___downloads\wildfly_quickstarts_pom_19_0_1_Final.txt


The original pom.xml switched to 19.0.1.Final:
wildfly_quickstarts_pom_19_0_1_Final
NOTE:  I also let some additional repositories found during the survey, just in the case.


ADDITIONAL TIP

The project's pom.xml file also requires the respective adjustment to 19.0.0.Final version.
Using the helloworld project as example, switch the version value in 19.0.0.Final element to match the parent's new version.

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.wildfly.quickstarts</groupId>
        <artifactId>quickstart-parent</artifactId>
        <!--
        Maintain separation between the artifact id and the version to help prevent
        merge conflicts between commits changing the GA and those changing the V.
        -->
        <version>19.0.0.Final</version>

[javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.config] (MSC service thread 1-5) Critical error during deployment: : com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException:

>PROBLEM

After deploying the project then starting the server it is returned the following message:

11:56:58,222 GRAVE [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.config] (MSC service thread 1-5) Critical error during deployment: : com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException:

  Cause: Unable to create a new instance of 'org.richfaces.resource.ResourceHandlerImpl': java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException


>SOLUTION

This happens when is skipped a step of the "New Dynamic Web Project" wizard where the JSF is set.
On the "JSF Capabilities" during creation it is necessary to define JSF library.

Also check if the "Java Server Faces" configuration on Project Facets matches the "Java Build Path" configuration.

Go to Navigator panel, point on the project then Alt + Enter to access project's properties.
Se the same jar path configuration set on Java, Build Path, Libraries tab and find to where you jar libs are pointing to.
Use the same configuration for Java Server Faces properties. Point to Project Facets , Java Server Faces.

JBOSS: JBAS014775: New missing/unsatisfied dependencies:

>PROBLEM

Starting JBoss, the server fails to load datasource throwing the following message:

18:21:37,781 INFO  [org.jboss.as.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS014774: Service status report
JBAS014775:    New missing/unsatisfied dependencies:

>SOLUTION

Check the configuration and change driver.
You may choose checking on or other in first place. It on your guess.

 

CHECKING DATASOURCE CONFIGURATION

standalone.xml

Go to JBoss install dir and open the standalone.xml file.
For instance:
D:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final_8080\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml

The configuration shall be something like this:

DATABASE MODULE

Go to JBoss install dir under modules\com\mysql\main folder.
For example:
D:\portables_d\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final_8080\modules\com\mysql\main

Open file the file having .index suffix.
Example:
mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar.index

Compare with the configuration in the standalone.xml file:

                    
<driver name="mysql" module="com.mysql">
   <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
</driver>

                    

In this case, they match.
The required class is present in the jar of the database's driver.
If the configuration is ok, then it is time to test another version for the driver.

 

SWITCHING DRIVERS

Replace the current driver for a new one.

In this case, switching to a newer driver it was enough.

Restart JBoss.

RESULT

SUCCESS

How to Implement a JavaScript Project Using Express with ORM (Sequelize), MVC model, OO (Object-Oriented programming) and Design Patterns?

>PROBLEM

The usual approach of JavaScript programmers makes no use of object-oriented programming, or mixes both styles, the "function-oriented" approach, common on this kind of platform due to its origins from browser's programming — old times!  Please, do not take this for functional programming that it is something different.
Just because it is used "functions" instead of classes doesn't mean that it is necessarily functional programming.

The old approach although fast and easy in some way, becomes cumbersome over time, turning out a project with difficult maintenance, cohesion issues, and tangled code.

ES6 offers a marvelous object-oriented implementation, easy and practical.

ORM is a key concern to decouple persistence.
Persistence pattern turns code concise and reusable extending resources and providing cohesion.

Another side effect is that ORM is more secure.
It may protect against SQL injection.

After Node.js, JavaScript becomes a "grown-up boy", having its own platform to run full implementation across a project, and no more a "browser's language".

How to use OO/ORM/DAO patterns with JavaScript/Node.js?


>SOLUTION

Since this kind of approach is relatively new for JavaScript programmers and not very popular although used by seniors developers, it is easier than supposed.

In order to become accessible for everyone who intends to evolve adopting the ES6's OO resources, the subject was split into pieces ("Jack methodology") to turn things easier — it was created a step-by-step tutorial.

The code isn't a definitive version for production, but a good start to get the grips of it.

Lógica Míope

www.bbc.com/news/av/stories-51742336/dirty-streaming-the-internet-s-big-secret

Eu li esta manchete na BBC dizendo que o nosso hábito por assistir streaming vai poluir o planeta ainda mais intensamente com a adoção do 5G.
Então o texto explica o porquê informando que muitos datacenters no mundo são movidos a energia fóssil (derivados de petróleo, carvão).

O detalhe da má fé ou da "percepção míope" da manchete é transferir a culpa para o usuário final de um problema de infraestrutura energética mundial.

Ok então, seguindo a "lógica também fóssil" do artigo inglês, vamos parar de assistir videos.

Oras, se não estamos na frente da tela, estamos na frente da direção, que por sua vez também usa energia fóssil.
E aqueles que não usam carro para a diversão, certamente usam de forma indireta algum serviço que faz uso de combustíveis fósseis.
Bares precisam de mercadoria, que são transportadas por caminhões ou trens que também usam combustível fóssil.
A energia dos bares, cinemas, teatros e etc em muitos locais do planeta também são abastecidos por energia fóssil.

Então, entre na geladeira no final de semana e evite trabalhar, porque viver polui!!!

É mais do que evidente que não são os usuários diretos ou indiretos na cadeia de serviços os verdadeiros responsáveis, mas o modelo econômico de geração de energia mundial que precisa de uma revisão urgente.

Ao usuário final cabe apenas concientização através da pressão política na cobranção da revisão desse modelo.
De nada vai adiantar políticas simplistas que buscam "congelar a atividade da humanidade".

A solução vem do esforço conjunto da ciência amparada pelo desejo político, porque parar de viver para não poluir faz tanto sentido quanto poluir até parar de viver.

What a short sighted vision BBC.co.uk !!!



Transcrição parcial do texto da BBC:

With the launch of streaming services from Disney and Apple, the rollout of 5G and the growth in cryptocurrencies, experts are warning about the impact this huge rise in data use could have on the environment.

There are now hundreds of thousands of data centres around the world, storing everything from viral videos to doctors' notes and even bank account details. Many of them run on electricity generated by burning fossil fuels.

Film and TV writer Beth Webb went in search of the internet and discovered that 'the cloud' is actually a vast network of energy-guzzling data centres and undersea cables.

JRE vs. JDK vs. SE vs. OpenJDK , ETC.

Are you a little lost with so many terms for a download in Java?

So I got one day when I decided to do some research, homework delayed since happened so many new events in the Java world that shook it require a revision to check how things became, just to make sure. Below, you find a summary containing the source links.
Below you get a summary.


Pointing to OpenJDK there is a link to Java SE 13 where it is found the information below (italic), plus some research,  lead me to the following conclusion:

JDK is used as it was before Oracle's acquisition - for Java development that contains free and may have proprietary code under licenses' conditions.

The Java SE is a "reference implementation" - text in italic, where we find the purpose of it.
There are also Enterprise Edition and Micro Edition platforms

OpenJDK is the open-source enterprise to maintain the free version of Java.

JRE is the Java virtual machine to run Java applications developed by JDK or OpenJDK kits.




NOTE FROM THE SITE AT Java SE 13

Java Platform, Standard Edition 13 Reference Implementations
The official Reference Implementation for Java SE 13 (JSR 388) is based solely upon open-source code available from the JDK 13 Project in the OpenJDK Community.
The binaries are available under the GNU General Public License version 2, with the Classpath Exception.
These binaries are for reference use only!
These binaries are provided for use by implementers of the Java SE 13 Platform Specification and are for reference purposes only. This Reference Implementation has been approved through the Java Community Process. Production-ready binaries under the GPL are available from Oracle; and will be in most popular Linux distributions.

>Baeldung's Comment

JDK (Java Development Kit) is a software development environment used in Java platform programming. It contains a complete Java Runtime Environment, a so-called private runtime. The name came from the fact that it contains more tools than the standalone JRE as well as the other components needed for developing Java applications.

Oracle strongly recommends using the term JDK to refer to the Java SE (Standard Edition) Development Kit (there are also Enterprise Edition and Micro Edition platforms).
Not all releases will be the Long-Term-Support (LTS) releases. As a result of Oracle's release plan, the LTS product releases will happen only every three years.

Java SE 11 is the latest LTS version, and Java SE 8 will be receiving free public updates until December 2020 for non-commercial usage.
This development kit got its current name after Oracle bought Sun Microsystems in 2010. Before that, the name was SUN JDK, and it was the official implementation of the Java programming language.

Version 8 Update 241Release date January 14, 2020

Important Oracle Java License Update

The Oracle Java License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019.

The new Oracle Technology Network License Agreement for Oracle Java SE is substantially different from prior Oracle Java licenses. The new license permits certain uses, such as personal use and development use, at no cost -- but other uses authorized under prior Oracle Java licenses may no longer be available. Please review the terms carefully before downloading and using this product. An FAQ is available here.
Commercial license and support is available with a low cost Java SE Subscription.
Oracle also provides the latest OpenJDK release under the open source GPL License at jdk.java.net.

>OpenJDK

jdk.java.net
OpenJDK is a free and open-source implementation of the Java SE Platform Edition. It was initially released in 2007 as the result of the development that Sun Microsystems started in 2006.
Certainly, we should emphasize that the OpenJDK is an official reference implementation of a Java Standard Edition since version SE 7.
Initially, it was based only on the JDK 7. But, since Java 10, the open-source reference implementation of the Java SE platform is the responsibility of the JDK Project. And, just like for the Oracle, the JDK Project will also deliver new feature releases every six months.
We should note that before this long-running project, there were JDK Release Projects that released one feature and then got discontinued.

>Oracle JDK vs. OpenJDK

baeldung.com/oracle-jdk-vs-openjdk

>Licenses

Oracle JDK was licensed under Oracle Binary Code License Agreement, whereas OpenJDK has the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) version 2 with a linking exception.
There are some licensing implications when using Oracle's platform. Public updates for Oracle Java SE 8 released after January 2019 will not be available for business, commercial, or production use without a commercial license, as Oracle announced. However, OpenJDK is completely open source and can be used it freely.

>Performance

There is no real technical difference between the two since the build process for the Oracle JDK is based on that of OpenJDK.
When it comes to performance, Oracle's is much better regarding responsiveness and JVM performance. It puts more focus on stability due to the importance it gives to its enterprise customers.
OpenJDK, in contrast, will deliver releases more often. As a result, we can encounter problems with instability. Based on community feedback, we know some OpenJDK users have encountered performance issues.
