I'm not really in that space any more but I haven't heard of ANYONE "flocking" to Corretto. OpenJDK, sure.

  I don't think Oracle would be unhappy with providers like Eclipse. I suspect they are less happy with people going to Azul, Amazon, RedHat, etc.

  Android Studio recommends versions of Amazon's Corretto distrubutions. That could be a JetBrains IDE feature though, not certain.

    Isn't it just the first choice in the list? IntelliJ offers several vendors (Amazon, Azul, Bellsoft, Eclipse, IBM, Oracle, SAP), defaulting to Oracle JDK 17. But I assume you need an older version for Android development.

  Well I'll break your anecdote. I "flocked" to Corretto for a production JVM-hosted system that ran on EC2 at the time that the Oracle distribution was re-licensed. My reasons, aside from just licensing concerns? It came with a public long-term support commitment, and was deployed by AWS themselves on internal services before it was released publicly.

    I remember the same argument of long-term support from the tech lead when he decided that the software we deliver to our clients would use the Correto JDK.

  We moved to Corretto, and have been _very_ happy with them. For example, see how they handled an obscure "Swing seems to crash with my app, but not for anyone else" https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/issues/331 https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/issues/331
