The Eclipse Adoptium () Working Group, established under the Eclipse, is the successor to AdoptOpenJDK.[1][2]
The core objective of Adoptium is to advocate for and maintain high-quality, free, open-source Java runtimes and associated technologies tailored for enterprise environments.[3] Through the Eclipse Temurin initiative, the Working Group delivers OpenJDK-based binary distributions.[4] Additionally, it manages the Eclipse AQAvit project, which provides an open testing framework for OpenJDK binaries.[5]
Formed in March 2021, the Adoptium Working Group brings together leading organizations such as Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, IBM, Karakun AG, Microsoft, New Relic, and Red Hat, pooling their expertise to create dependable Java runtime solutions.[6]
In May 2022, the introduction of the Adoptium Marketplace marked a significant expansion of its ecosystem by offering a unified platform for accessing verified Java runtime distributions.[7]
Eclipse Temurin
The Eclipse Temurin initiative is responsible for creating Temurin (), a certified OpenJDK binary distribution. Initiated in October 2021, it supports long-term support (LTS) releases of Java versions 8, 11, 17, and 21. The name "Temurin" is derived as an anagram of runtime. From 2023 onwards, commercial backing for Temurin has been provided by several Adoptium members including Azul Systems, IBM, Open Elements, and Red Hat.
History
Originally launched as AdoptOpenJDK in 2017, the project aimed to supply free and open-source Java runtimes suitable for enterprise use. In 2020, it evolved into Eclipse Adoptium under the umbrella of the Eclipse Foundation, with the Eclipse Temurin project taking responsibility for producing official binary builds.
