Not really.

Oracle supports Oracle Java.
IBM supports IBM Java.
HP supports HP Java.
Azul supports Azul Java.
Open source community supports OpenJDK.

But code is shared:
    OpenJDK->Oracle
    Oracle->IBM
    Oracle->HP
    OpenJDK->Azul

VSI will have to support VSI Java.

And VSI will need to decide if they will take use Oracle
or OpenJDK (somebody said that they were going with OpenJDK).
