Consider using Disco API to search for JDKs #155

The foojay Disco API is a general purpose API to discover builds of OpenJDK from different distributions. It should allow for automation instead of manually maintaining own metadata. https://github.com/foojay2020/discoapi

@sideeffffect asdf-java is using https://joschi.github.io/java-metadata/ to build its inventory.

You know, a data source which didn't spy on its users. 😉 https://github.com/foojay2020/discoapi/issues/20

They say they don't do it anymore https://github.com/foojay2020/discoapi/issues/20#issuecomment-803429397 :shrug:

As mentioned by @sideeffffect we don't store any ip-address for some time but only lookup the country code (as proposed by @joschi) and store it and that's all. So I think that's ok and in the near future you will be able to see the download numbers on foojay.io.
