For example, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA, one of the main IDEs for Java

IDEA and launch it via a terminal, you will see the following warning:

THIS IS STRICTLY UNSUPPORTED DUE TO KNOWN PERFORMANCE AND
GRAPHICS PROBLEMS!
NOTE: If you have both Oracle (Sun) JDK and OpenJDK installed
please validate either IDEA_JDK, JDK_HOME, or JAVA_HOME
environment variable points to valid Oracle (Sun) JDK installation.
See http://ow.ly/6TuKQ for more info on switching default JDK
But that's their fault, not OpenJDK's; if there's actually anything
wrong with OpenJDK that stops IDEA working, that would be another
matter. I'd note that OpenJDK is the official Java SE 7 Reference
Implementation, so if IntelliJ IDEA doesn't even work with the RI,
it really is JetBrains' fault!
