Comments
Can you confirm that this product uses AdoptOpenJDK whilst the other BMC TrueSight products use Azul Java? If so, why?
Thanks for your query, John Conroy. I am looking into it.
John Conroy, sorry for the delay in response. Yes, this product uses AdoptOpenJDK, Most of the products have now moved to AdoptOpenJDK. They were using Azul Java in the past for technical reasons. Please let us know if you have query about any specific product in BMC.
