OpenJDK和Java API区别,从技术上讲，Oracle JDK和OpenJDK之间的主要区别是什么？

I have been using OpenJDK for ages, initially for small projects where it has no problems. But since I started to play with it for big toys, I started to notice random/unknown fatal error and crashes (with H.264 codecs, etc.), and it was a nightmare till then to get ride of system crash+fatal errors caused by OpenJDK.

After getting completely frustrated and tired with OpenJDK, I finally decided to switch into Oracle JDK 7. Since then my fatal errors/crashes were gone. I am still doing trace to see if it occurs, but I never got those system crashes yet.

Now I am wondering, if OpenJDK is only a license issue, why is stability impossible with it?

Why does OpenJDK keep bugs alive, inside their stable releases, but claiming that its clone of Oracle JDK (which it is not really), then what really technically separates OpenJDK from Oracle JDK? (only quick features availability? Or focused on stability/reliability?)

解决方案

Technical differences are a consequence of the goal of each one (OpenJDK is meant to be the reference implementation, open to the community, while Oracle is meant to be a commercial one)

They both have "almost" the same code of the classes in the Java API; but the code for the virtual machine itself is actually different, and when it comes to libraries, OpenJDK tends to use open libraries while Oracle tends to use closed ones; for instance, the font library.
