![]() ![]() It’s an open-source, no-cost long-term support (LTS) distribution of OpenJDK that is free for anyone to deploy anywhere. They are essentially providing Windows-specific optimizations that haven’t made it back to the OpenJDK source code yet. Microsoft just announced its own OpenJDK build. ![]() Here’s a run-down of the most commonly used ones and their primary offerings. With all these choices, we felt like it was a good time to review the currently available OpenJDK builds. And others (e.g., Zulu and AdoptOpenJDK) appear to be trying to become a non-Oracle supplier of builds with their own (ostensibly cheaper) support contracts. Others (e.g., Zing and OpenJ9) are adding technology in some way. Some of them (e.g., Microsoft, Red Hat, and Amazon Corretto), seem to have a self-serving purpose-namely, to help Java run better (or at all) on their own technology. Now, well into 2021, we’re at the point where there are many alternatives to the original Oracle JDK build. Ever since Oracle, in 2018, split its JDK build licensing into two tiers-commercial, which can be used for free in development and testing but you have to pay to use it in production, and open-source, which is free in any environment-quite a few open-source builds based on the OpenJDK source code have appeared.
