What is the relationship between the Type Annotations compiler and the OpenJDK compiler?
Oracle’s announced plan is to incorporate all of the changes in the Type Annotations compiler into the OpenJDK compiler, with the exception of the annotations in comments feature. The Oracle process for incorporating changes into OpenJDK is a lengthy one, so sometimes it takes a while before improvements to the Type Annotations compiler appear in OpenJDK. Periodically, all public changes to the OpenJDK compiler are merged into the Type Annotations compiler. This can be done relatively easily, and without corporate approval required. As a result, at any moment each compiler may have features the other one lacks. In general, you are better off using the Type Annotations compiler, particularly if you are interested in writing and checking type annotations. For a more detailed description of the differences between the two compilers, see the Type Annotations compiler README file.
