Oh, and openjdk_headless skips the GTK and X dependencies that you won't need for Spring.

That's interesting. We have some applications, that produce PDFs, which use fonts, which usually requires a non-headless (headfull?) jdk. At AWS i wonder, what the default alpine jdk contains. And how much space could be saved, if people were more aware, that they can use a headless one.
> headfull?

Wonder if there is a good term for this. I have been jokingly referring to this as 'headed' and headless as 'beheaded'.

Axed! :)
