The main-line development repository for the OpenJDK, the open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition. It contains the Java compiler, the HotSpot virtual machine, and the core class libraries that make up the JDK.

Use cases

  • build the Java Development Kit from source
  • contribute to Java platform development
  • test applications against the latest JDK main-line
  • study JVM and Java compiler internals
  • run Java programs on an open-source runtime

When to choose

  • you need the reference implementation of Java SE
  • you want to contribute to or track upcoming Java releases
  • you need to build or patch the JDK itself

When to avoid

  • you just need a stable certified JDK for production from a vendor
  • you develop in a language other than Java
  • you want a minimal JRE-only distribution
