I'm trying to located the OpenJDK 8 GA build. When I navigate to https://openjdk.java.net/ a link is provided to https://jdk.java.net/11/ for the newest openJDK11 build. Once I arrive at jdk.java.net/11 on the left nav bar there is a link to jdk 8. The problem I'm seeing is version 8 is an EA build. Where do I find the latest ga build for windows?

2019-07-02 Edit: Some parts of OpenJDK provide "official" binaries now. OpenJDK 8 and 11 are available here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/upstream.html

Original Answer:

The OpenJDK project itself publishes only the source code. They do not publish binaries at all.

OpenJDK the project has some conventions that may not be obvious. For example jdk8 is the branch where all work was done before OpenJDK 8 was released. After that, work continues in the jdk8u branch: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/. Each new version gets a version like 8u133, which is kind of like 8.133, if you will. The very first release of OpenJDK 8 was just 8 (or 8u0). Newest is 8u191.

If you want an OpenJDK build, you need to get it from somewhere other than OpenJDK. Some options (in alphabetical order):

  • AdaptOpenJDK: https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html#x64_win (8u181, 3 months old)
  • Azul: https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulu-windows/. (8u181, 3 months old)
  • OJDKbuild: https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild#downloads-for-windows-x86_64 (8u191)
  • Oracle: https://jdk.java.net/java-se-ri/8 (8u0, ~4 years old). Avoid this at all costs for production.
  • Red Hat: https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download/ (8u181, 3 months old)
