 +===== OpenJDK =====
 +
 +If you prefer the fully Open Source alternative of OpenJDK instead of Oracle's pre-compiled and partly closed-source binaries, then you can get sources, SlackBuild scripts and/or native Slackware packages here: [[http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openjdk/|http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openjdk/]].
 +
 +If you decide you want to use OpenJDK, the same rules apply that were written above for the Oracle Java packages: //only install one of the two, either JRE or JDK!//
 +If you want a web-browser plugin like Oracle's binaries have, then install the additional [[http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/icedtea-web|icedtea-web]] package. Oracle kept its browser plugin closed-source. The //icedtea-web// package is an open-source alternative.\\ You will also need [[http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/rhino|rhino]], the JavaScript engine for OpenJDK.
 +
 +If you decide you want to compile OpenJDK from source, then use the [[http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openjdk/build/README.txt|README]] for guidance.
