Eclipse Adoptium
Return to Eclipse Foundation, OpenJDK, AdoptOpenJDK
TLDR: Eclipse Adoptium is an open-source initiative launched in 2021 by the Eclipse Foundation to provide free, high-quality builds of the OpenJDK. It aims to ensure that developers have reliable and well-tested distributions of the Java Development Kit (JDK) for various platforms. Eclipse Adoptium is the successor to the AdoptOpenJDK project, which transitioned to the Eclipse Foundation for better governance and long-term support, maintaining a strong focus on transparency and community collaboration.
Eclipse Adoptium supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, providing developers with a consistent and secure environment for deploying Java applications. It includes rigorous testing processes, with the Adoptium Quality Assurance (AQAvit) suite, ensuring that each OpenJDK build meets high performance, security, and stability standards. Popular distributions like Eclipse Temurin, developed under the Eclipse Adoptium project, are widely used in production environments, offering timely updates and compatibility with modern Java standards.

The Eclipse Adoptium community fosters innovation by encouraging contributions from developers, organizations, and other stakeholders in the Java ecosystem. Its open governance model enables stakeholders to participate in decision-making processes, ensuring the project's alignment with the needs of the Java community. By delivering trustworthy OpenJDK distributions, Eclipse Adoptium has become a cornerstone for developers seeking free and robust Java runtime environments for enterprise and personal projects alike.

- Snippet from Wikipedia: Adoptium
The Eclipse Adoptium () Working Group is the successor of AdoptOpenJDK.
The main goal of Adoptium is to promote and support free and open-source high-quality runtimes and associated technology for use across the Java ecosystem. To do so the Adoptium Working Group (WG) builds and provides OpenJDK based binaries under the Eclipse Temurin project. In addition to Temurin the WG creates an open test suite for OpenJDK based binaries as part of the Eclipse AQAvit project.
The Adoptium Working Group was launched by Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, IBM, iJUG, Karakun AG, Microsoft, New Relic, and Red Hat in March 2021.
In May 2022, the Adoptium project announced the formation of the Adoptium Marketplace.
