About:
AdoptOpenJDK provides free, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries for multiple platforms and versions. It offers a community-supported alternative to Oracle JDK, with builds tested and verified by the Eclipse Foundation. Its main value is providing a reliable, TCK-tested Java runtime for development and production use.
Key Features:
  • Open-source, TCK-tested Java binaries
  • Multiple JDK versions (LTS and latest)
  • Choice of HotSpot or OpenJ9 JVMs
  • Builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows
  • Community-driven and vendor-neutral
Use Cases:
  • Running Java applications and services locally
  • Java software development and testing
  • Providing a consistent Java runtime environment across teams
Alternatives:
  • oracle-jdk – Official Oracle JDK; requires a commercial license for production use.
  • temurin – Eclipse Temurin is the direct successor to AdoptOpenJDK under the Eclipse Adoptium working group.
