ActiveMQ - Oracle JRE License

[Matam Mruthyunjaya Swamy <mr...@volvo.com>]

Hi Team ,

Greetings !!!!!

We have an  application built on .NET tech stack but we also have used a Message-oriented middleware (MOM) software " ActiveMQ"  for the communication between the services . Oracle JRE is a pre-requite for ActiveMQ but Oracle JRE is no more a free software and so how does the licensing work . Can some one help me with the below queries ?


  *   Does the ActiveMQ license cover the Oracle JRE license terms ?
  *   Do we need to buy the license for Oracle JRE (Or) it can be used with ActiveMQ without buying a license?
  *   Can we use Redhat Open JRE instead of Oracle JRE for ActiveMQ usage?


Thanks & Regards,
Swamy

Oracle JRE is not, in fact, a prerequisite for ActiveMQ.

No. The license used by ActiveMQ is the Apache License 2.0 [1]. It has
nothing to do with any JRE license or any Oracle license of any kind.

> Do we need to buy the license for Oracle JRE (Or) it can be used with
ActiveMQ without buying a license?

The license for your JRE (whether it's from Oracle or a different
organization) is completely separate from ActiveMQ.

> Can we use Redhat Open JRE instead of Oracle JRE for ActiveMQ usage?

Yes. You can, in fact, use any JRE you want given it provides the required
Java APIs. Currently the latest versions of ActiveMQ "Classic" require at
least Java 8. The latest version of ActiveMQ Artemis (i.e. 2.20.0) requires
Java 11.
