The main goal of Adoptium is to promote and support free and open-source high-quality runtimes and associated technology for use across the Java ecosystem.[4] To do so the Adoptium Working Group will build and provide OpenJDK based binaries under the Eclipse Temurin project.[5] In addition to Temurin the WG creates an open test suite for OpenJDK based binaries as part of the Eclipse AQAvit project.[6]

The Working Group has been launched by Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, IBM, iJUG, Karakun AG, Microsoft, New Relic, and Red Hat in March 2021.[1]

History

Eclipse Adoptium originally started as AdoptOpenJDK. AdoptOpenJDK was founded in 2017 and provided enterprises with free and open-source Java runtimes.

In 2020, AdoptOpenJDK moved to the Eclipse Foundation project under the name Eclipse Adoptium. The working group will produce binaries via the Eclipse Temurin project.
