I know, I know, it doesn't really matter, but for the very curious among you, "corretto" might refer to "Caffè Corretto", an Italian flavor of espresso coffee with alcohol added to it. The origin of "corretto" in that sense are really interesting [0]. [0]: https://punchdrink.com/articles/brief-history-italian-caffe-...

> might refer to "Caffè Corretto"

And so it does, at least that's what James Gosling said when he announced Corretto at Devoxx back in 2018.

Not modules but removal of JEE classes from Jdk.

Simply fixed by adding them as dependencies to your pom.xml.

In later versions they have been renamed also but that isn't until Java 17 I think with them moving under the jakarta namespace.

For an opinionated comparison of various JDKs, see: https://whichjdk.com/ . (Submission thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28820601 ) Disclaimer: no affiliation, just seemed like useful context.

That site is hardly useful, the comments on the previous thread are far better.

I've peripherally known Corretto is the Amazon distribution of Java (specifically, OpenJDK), but I never really looked up what the difference between, say, the releases from AdoptOpenJDK and Corretto are. I looked it up, it looks like it's generally: 1. LTS support - adoptopenjdk doesn't do LTS 2. Patches that come from Amazon that are upstreamed to OpenJDK but appear in Corretto first since, you know, that's where A…

Adopt OpenJDK didn't have TCK compliance - this seems to have changed with the rebranding to adoptium.

My understanding is that ties between the Eclipse Foundation and IBM are loose enough by now to not call this project an IBM thing. Eclipse did originate at IBM, but that was close to 20 years ago.

That may be so, but >90% of the work on this particular Eclipse project is done by IBM. Just as many companies contribute to OpenJDK but it is primarily an Oracle project, and Oracle does most of the work, Adoptium is an IBM project. That, in itself is not good or bad (although it is somewhat bad because, unlike other JDK distributors, IBM is barely involved with OpenJDK and the IBM team that makes the Adoptium build…

Are we talking about the (Open)J9 flavor here? It was featured more prominently on the AdoptOpenJDK page, but has now all but disappeared on the Adoptium site. J9 is something that I can definitely associate with IBM, what I'm having a hard time with is connecting the work on HotSpot builds to the company.
