The Eclipse Foundation, in collaboration with the Adoptium Working Group, has announced the latest release of Eclipse Temurin’s Java SE runtime. This release supports 54 version/platform combinations and five major OpenJDK versions, demonstrating Adoptium’s commitment to providing a diverse range of supported builds for Linux, Mac, Windows, and various architectures, including x64, ARM, and RISC-V.
Eclipse Temurin, an open-source Java SE build based upon OpenJDK, has experienced significant growth, reflecting a strong demand among developers for secure, high-quality, and community-driven open-source Java runtimes. The Adoptium Working Group has played a key role in delivering free-to-use, enterprise-ready runtime binaries and expanding the use cases for open source Java. With support for RISC-V, Eclipse Temurin is opening new opportunities for Java in Industrial IoT and beyond.
The Working Group has shared several important updates and developments alongside this release. Eclipse Temurin currently sees over 23 million downloads per month and has surpassed 380 million downloads in total. According to a recent independent report (New Relic, State of the Java Ecosystem, April 2024), Temurin has achieved 50% year-over-year growth and now represents 18% of the Java market as the second most popular JDK vendor.
Eclipse Temurin is committed to building a secure OpenJDK distribution and leading the way in software supply chain security practices. Nominated platform builds are independently verified and include a comprehensive software bill of materials. The Working Group has recently launched a case study highlighting this commitment to security.
With the addition of support for RISC-V microprocessors, Eclipse Temurin has broadened its applications to embedded technologies, IoT, machine learning, automotive software, and high-performance computing.
Eclipse Temurin, an open-source Java SE distribution based on OpenJDK, is available for various platforms and Java SE versions. Multiple commercial support options are available to ensure Temurin adopters can receive enterprise-grade support for their mission-critical Java workloads. Members of the Adoptium Working Group, including Azul Systems, IBM, Open Elements, and Red Hat, offer this support.
