Adoptium now called Eclipse Temurin and it seems a de-facto open source Java distro nowadays. I used to choose other distros, in particular Azul and Liberica (because Adoptium didn't run JCK tests at that time), but today I think there's no reason to choose anything but Temurin if you don't need paid support. They have docker images, including alpine one and arm64 one (not alpine arm64 sadly), they have macports package, what else one could wish.
- orra 3y agoIt definitely feels like things have coleasced around Termurin. I am under the impression Red Hat and Azul, etc, contribute, even though they have their own offerings.
- krzyk 3y ago"de-facto open source Java distro" ? You mean "open source build for Java", because OpenJDK is open source, here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk https://github.com/openjdk/jdk One can build JDK themselves, it is not that hard.
- vbezhenar 3y agoJDK is a set of multiple artifacts: JVM, compiler, standard library, other tools (keytool, etc). That's why I call it "distro". Matter of terminology, I guess.
- krzyk 3y agoBut all of those are in OpenJDK repo, so is de facto open source, just like linux kernel. You can't call a deb package with kernel as de-facto opensource, because that is just a package not the source.
- kaba0 3y agoEspecially that they do basically no development at all on said sources. It is almost completely financed by Oracle.
