#13Anyone 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 used it as a replacement for openjdk 8, and I was very happy with the results. Keep in mind there are a few attributes that differ, but the documentation was very clear on that.

#14On macOS and Windows their various builds are also available over the Homebrew and Scoop package managers: https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/homebrew-openjdk https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/Java
And SDK Man, which is fantastic:

#15Please add an option with JavaFX bundled.
JavaFX included in builds from here (branded "Zulu FX"): https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/
(select JRE FX or JDK FX from the dropdown I guess - they've changed the download page recently)

#16RedHat also provides OpenJDK builds for free, although hidden behind a developer account registration. https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download
Red Hat also provides binaries built from the unmodified OpenJDK source here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/upstream.html -- which could be downloaded without developer account.

#18Does 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.

#19You don't need extra projects to manage this stuff anymore.
There is a great answer here... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52524112/how-do-i-instal...
brew install java (12)
brew install java11
In your .bashrc:
export JDK_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 12` # v9+ change to the version you installed
export JAVA_PATH=$JDK_HOME
export JAVA_HOME=$JDK_HOME
export PATH="."
export PATH="${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin"Re: AdoptOpenJDK: Open-source, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries
#20Anyone 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.

Just note that, while the download page is confusing about this point, the OpenJ9 distribution is not OpenJDK; it's a completely separate project, albeit one that copies much of the OpenJDK code. OpenJDK release notes are largely irrelevant to the OpenJ9 build.
