Adopt Open JDK 100 Millions Download
Adopt OpenJDK Logo |
AdoptOpenJDK came for answering some developer worries because Oracle might take Java into private, whether they are gonna start charging Java. AdoptOpenJDK is one of the JDK vendor answering that Java is still gonna be free. Now they have accomplish 100 millions downloads, it's really good milestone for them.
There's been many company shipping Java Development Kit (JDK), from the Java owner itself. Oracle JDK, open source version of JDK, OpenJDK, and even Amazon with Amazon Correto JDK. AdoptOpenJDK is one of the popular JDK.
Why AdoptOpenJDK?
Well because it is an open source project, it is free to get the JDK from AdoptOpenJDK, i don't think there's any significant different from one JDK to the other, other than the bug support feature support, security, performance, etc. Since Java 11 came, Java has been modularized some part of commercial API like JavaEE has been split into different module. So all the JDK since Java 11 will have no different in the features, it will be compatible to each other.I am not part of the project, just the user. I have been using AdoptOpenJDK for my Java development kit, and it works really good. The one thing i love about the AdoptOpenJDK is that they have the nightly build JDK publicly open, so you can get the very last JDK binary, the very very fresh JDK from them, with the features, security, performance patch, etc.
- You can download the nightly build JDK from AdoptOpenJDK homepage here https://adoptopenjdk.net/nightly.html
- Or the latest stable version from here https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html
