Except now a days you're not encouraged to run a system-wide JVM! You can still download a JVM for Java 21, but it's from weird third parties like Adoptium

- EdwardDiego 2y agoAdoptium is a JVM from the Eclipse Foundation. They're hardly weird, even if the branding is. It's basically "people into JVMs not controlled or licenced by Oracle that work good". https://www.eclipse.org/membership/explore-membership/ https://www.eclipse.org/membership/explore-membership/
- contrarian1234 2y agoI never realized it was from Eclipse! They've cleaned up the webpage where it's a bit more clear now. I always figured it was a weird consultancy or something like Gluon - where there was a paid product when you dig a little Thanks for clearing it up. Hope they rebrand and drop the Adoptium name eventually
- arjvik 2y agoIt used to be called AdoptOpenJDK, and was a project that essentially just provided prebuilt binaries of OpenJDK. But post several Oracle changes that I admittedly have not kept up with, they have grown in scope and also been forced to remove OpenJDK from their name. They went with Adoptium, to keep the Adopt part that got them famous.
- pjmlp 2y agoAlmost correct, except the part that it is a bit like saying Red-Hat is a Linux not controlled by Linus. https://devclass.com/2023/03/22/despite-openjdk-70-of-java-fixes-and-features-come-from-oracle-big-red-says/ https://devclass.com/2023/03/22/despite-openjdk-70-of-java-f...
- brabel 2y agoThat's bullshit. Here are the JDK distributions supported by SDKMAN, a really good JVM-oriented package manager: https://sdkman.io/jdks https://sdkman.io/jdks There's a couple of dozen vendors in there , including very weird ones like IBM, Microsoft, AWS, Azul, Eclipse, SAP, Redd Hat, and even... Oracle!
