Would it be better to point users in the direction of Microsoft’s versions? I have seen a few users unsure if the adopt open jdk builds are legit due to the lesser know source.
I’d be interested to see what other people think?
Sounds like Microsoft's JDK builds are using Adoptium's as a base: https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk, however since Microsoft does have Java 16 builds released now it may be wise to promote them as they are likely the builds Mojang are using.
True that, i was used to AdoptOpenJDK ones but it might be better to go with Microsoft as it is really known by your average user.
Adoptium.net page is simple to use
IMO the biggest issue with the MS builds is the download page isnt super user friendly as they have to pick the correct version: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/java/openjdk/download
Amazon's corretto has the same issue: https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/
The jdk mojang ships is oracle jdk (can be confirmed by typing java -version
and it shows Java (TM)
, and it ships javac); I would recommend using the oracle jdk directly for better compatibility or use the base openjdk from openjdk.java.net than those from other sources.
The jdk mojang ships is oracle jdk
That's only true for java 8. The java 16 JDK is by Microsoft.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\runtime\java-runtime-alpha\windows-x64\java-runtime-alpha\bin> ./java -version
openjdk version "16.0.1" 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Microsoft-22300 (build 16.0.1+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Microsoft-22300 (build 16.0.1+9, mixed mode)
I will merge this for now, we can look at moving to MS's another time.
AdoptOpenJDK is moving to the Eclipse Foundation and rebranding. July 2021 and future releases will come from Adoptium.net
