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.[4] To do so the Adoptium Working Group (WG) builds and provides OpenJDK based binaries under the Eclipse Temurin project.[5] In addition to Temurin the WG creates an open test suite for OpenJDK based binaries as part of the Eclipse AQAvit project.[6]
The Adoptium Working Group was launched by Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, IBM, iJUG, Karakun AG, Microsoft, New Relic, and Red Hat in March 2021.[1]
In May 2022, the Adoptium project announced the formation of the Adoptium Marketplace.[7]
Projects
editEclipse Temurin
editThe Eclipse Temurin project produces Temurin (/ˈtɛmjərɪn/), a certified binary build of OpenJDK. The initial release in October 2021[8] supported Java LTS 8, 11, 17, and 21. The name for the project, Temurin, is an anagram of the word runtime.[9] Since 2023 the Adoptium Working Group members Azul Systems, IBM, Open Elements and Red Hat offer commercial support for Temurin.[10]
History

In 2020, AdoptOpenJDK moved to the Eclipse Foundation project under the name Eclipse Adoptium. The working group produces binaries via the Eclipse Temurin project.
