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.

Renamed but in library. JDK has nothing to do with them since 9.

You also have Zulu from Azul.

Which has been a staple of long-term JVM production guys for a long time. You can use their releases free of licensing but can get commercial support if/when you need it.

And their support is fantastic, even if you are just evaluating the product.

From the Adoptium FAQ: > This is the project and brand name for the binaries that the Eclipse Foundation produces. You can think of these as the successor binaries to AdoptOpenJDK. The current LTS versions are 8, 11 and 17. Supported platforms include arm32 (Linux), aarch64 (Linux & macOS), x64 (Windows, Alpine & Linux w/ glibc) and x86 (Linux).

AdoptOpenJDK used to provide OpenJ9 binaries, are those gone now with Adoptium? I did find some OpenJ9 github site which mentioned they could not provide binaries any more, but I don't really understand why.

Correct, they've dropped OpenJ9 support during the rebranding.

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-...

Hey, paesano! In an amusing coincidence, I had a delicious Caffè Corretto after dinner at Donato Enoteca in Redwood City last night. They make it with a shot of espresso and a shot of grappa (Italian grape brandy for those unfamiliar with the word). Bracing!

Donato happens to be one of the best Italian spots in the Bay Area. Good pick!

As to the reason why, apparently Oracle revoked their TCK[0] license[1].
