Of the six different platforms we've built (OpenJDK6, OpenJDK7, and OpenJDK8, each for Windows and Linux) for 圆4 so far, the Windows OpenJDK6 build took by far the most effort to wring out items that didn't work on Windows, or would not pass the Technical Compatibility Kit test protocol for Java SE 6 "as is."ĭisclaimer: I am the Product Manager for Zulu. With Corretto, you can develop and run Java applications on popular operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. I can attest that building OpenJDK 6 for Windows was not a trivial exercise.

These are binary downloads, so you do not need to build OpenJDK from scratch to use them. The following URL leads to you free downloads, the Zulu community forum, and other details:

We posted the OpenJDK 8 version this week, though OpenJDK 7 and 6 are both available too. Supported platforms include Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, Solaris, and AIX. The Zulu distribution of OpenJDK is built and tested on Windows and Linux. AdoptOpenJDK provides prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from a fully open source set of build scripts and infrastructure. In case you are still looking for a Windows build of OpenJDK, Azul Systems launched the Zulu product line last fall.
