Memory leaks, obscure bugs, inconsistencies in the crytographic algorithms supported across platforms and patches, and overall a support cost for us that is higher than I am prepared to pay. If you run into unusual problems, and want help, the first thing you'll be told by me is to reproduce the issue under Oracle Java. The warning on the SystemRequirements page has been there since V3 shipped.
