Looks like all Linux distros only have available OpenJDK.
How do them compare today? Can I just go with OpenJDK for server related things (Jenkins, Java web frameworks like Play, Vertx, etc)?
Or should I still go with Oracle JDK/JRE to be safe?

1Actually not a really dup here. This is specific to JDK 8. And the other thread addresses only JDK 7 (as the question is from 2013). The question should be if differences between OpenJDK and OracleJDK still exist in Java 8. – Asturio Nov 04 '15 at 13:46

You can of course install any version you wish. You don't have to use the built in one.

The updates are not exactly in sync and there is some proprietary additions in the Oracle JVM but they have the same code base.

It's up to you. It's unlikely to made a difference for you.
