Lazy toot: I'm considering the use of a Java-based app on my machine. Is the antipathy toward Java mainly about it not being FOSS? Or is there more to it? Any search-terms I can Google or links I can chase to help me make a more informed decision?

I gather already that the maker strongly recommends Oracle Java for this than OpenJDK.

(This is a bibliographic ref mngr, so I'd really be investing time & energy for the long haul.)
