[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TOOLSDOC-296) Sun JDK is now Oracle JDK

[Michelle Murray (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12743970#comment-12743970 ] 

Michelle Murray commented on TOOLSDOC-296:
------------------------------------------

The IBM Style Guide that we try to adhere to within the Red Hat docs team states that the abbreviation "JDK" specifically refers to the developer kit from Oracle. So "Oracle JDK" is overkill but it does make it absolutely clear to readers who don't know about the reservation of JDK for solely Oracle.

The docs will go with Oracle JDK until advised otherwise.

Also, "Sun *and* OpenJDK" will be amended to "*or*".
