Folder Names Differences Between MSI and Zip #983

Open andrewauclair opened 1 month ago

Question

The 21.0.4+7-LTS .msi installs a folder named "jdk-21.0.4.7-hotspot" but the .zip folder for the same version contains a folder named "jdk-21.0.4+7". This means that we have to rename the .zip folder name to "jdk-21.0.4.7-hotspot" to be consistent. Why are these named different?

For reference, we are using the zip because you can't have the .msi for 21.0.2+13-LTS and 21.0.4+7-LTS installed at the same time.

Context

Java version:

21.0.4+7-LTS

Your operating system and platform:

Windows 10

As per @sxa "Might be a hangover from the adoptopenjdk days where we had a non-hotspot version and this would allow you have both installed."
