  1. corretto-18

    Discontinued Amazon Corretto 18 is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of OpenJDK 18

    At some point i came across a page listing the changes that Amazon had made, relative to the upstream. There wasn't mich for Java 11+, but there were a number of backported fixes for 8. Can't find it now.

    But Corretto itself is open source, so someone sufficiently interested could diff that to the upstream:
