Introduction

The original contents is written in Japanese "OpenJDKと各種JDKディストリビューションの情報源まとめ #minjava". If the translation is strange, please send edit requests to this article. Linked contents may be in Japanese.

This article is part of the Mar 13th, 2020 publication "Everyone's Java" ('Minna-no-Java/a.k.a minjava' in Japanese) tie-up campaign.

Here's a quick blog post, and at the end of Section 2-4 "Most Recent JDK Distributions", in Chapter 2 which I am in charge of, I write some sources to keep track of.

I think you can follow the link in the case of the electronic version, but it will be difficult for those who purchased the paper version of the book, and the link may change in the future, so I will summarize it as this article.
In addition, I'll add some links to the JDK you should keep an eye on in Section 2-4, as well as some references and additional information.
The EOL for each distribution in section 2-5 is summarized in @YujiSoftware's article "Summary of Java Release Dates and EOL", although it is best to check the latest information from the Lifecycle link.

Major multi-platform JDKs

The information presented here is based on publicly available, and if commercial support is available, you may find more information on the dedicated site.
Basically, they are listed in the order of first official release, but Oracle JDK and Oracle OpenJDK are listed continuously because of their close relationship.

Oracle JDK (Oracle Java SE)

License	Oracle Binary Code License (BCL for Java SE)	https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/binary-code-license.html *~10, ~8u201/202

Originally, Java SE Embedded has been free development, and the deployment required royalty, so it can be said that the same thing happened since JDK 11.
Since JDK 17, the license has been changed again and is now basically free, but please refer to the Oracle Java SE Licensing FAQ for details.
