Anyone ever tried the Eclipse OpenJ9 VM? I've never heard of it, but it might be fun to see if there's a difference with my various apps and performance in an IDE.

I've just been hearing a lot of fuss about GraalVM, though haven't had time to investigate what's so special about it nor how it might help typical 'enterprise' services and Java apps.

I have used really old versions of J9 on StrongARM systems, it was faster than the Sun JVM at the time as there was no JIT for the Sun one.

Does the OpenJDK project not offer open source, pre-built binaries already?

I think they do, but Oracle recently announced they won't be backporting security patches to older versions of the open source OpenJDK distributions. As I understand it AdoptOpenJDK is a third party effort to continue supporting the free verisions of older versions of java after Oracle abandons them.
