Alpine has Sable, and you can also compile your own OpenJDK (if it doesn&#x27;t have it already). There are plenty of reasons to use Alpine and just as many not to use it, but lack of a JVM isn&#x27;t one of them (Pretty much same with Docker- it added nothing of apparently value to me more than that LXC did (or BSD jails like someone above me mentioned), but I&#x27;m sure it provides value to some people.)
