  • openJDK-docker

    Docker Official Image packaging for EA builds of OpenJDK from Oracle

  • I'm on Linux so I use the standard OpenJDK in the OS repository. If I needed something later, I'd go to openjdk's site and get it there.

  • adoptium.net

    Discontinued Development of the website has moved to https://github.com/adoptium/website-v2

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Liberica JDK

    Free and 100% open source Progressive Java Runtime for modern Java™ deployments supported by a leading OpenJDK contributor

  • Personally, I trust Liberica JDK (https://bell-sw.com/pages/libericajdk/) - default runtime for all Spring Boot applications, provided by one of the top OpenJDK contributors companies with reasonable pricing. Worth mentioning, they did a great job to make Docker containers as small as possible with Alpine Linux and Liberica Lite.

  • download-jdk

    Discontinued FUP2 https://github.com/oracle-actions/setup-java

  • OpenJDK is an open-source project. The key word there is 'source'. OpenJDK does not provide binary distributions. Yes, there is one available from jdk.java.net but that is the Oracle OpenJDK JDK.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
