Chapter 4. Downloading Eclipse Temurin distributions from the Adoptium web site

Procedure

• From the Adoptium home page or from the Eclipse Temurin project page, choose any of the following ways to download an Eclipse Temurin distribution:

  Option 1: Download the latest version directly

  Click the Download Temurin button. This preselects the latest available Eclipse Temurin version for the platform that it detects you are using and immediately begins downloading that selection.

  Option 2: Download a selected version directly

  Click the Other Downloads link. This opens the Latest Releases tab where you can download Eclipse Temurin for a variety of platform and version options. You can choose the distribution that best suits your needs from the various formats such as archives, JRE archives, and installers.

  By default, the Other Downloads link opens the download page for the latest available LTS version. The All Versions tab includes a series of filters that you can use to find and download the Eclipse Temurin distribution for a specific version, operating system, and architecture.

  Option 3: Use another way to download beyond direct downloads

  In the Latest Releases tab for a specific version or all versions, scroll down to the Other ways to download Temurin section of the page. The available options in that section provide different ways to obtain an Eclipse Temurin distribution beyond performing a direct download.

  For example:

  • Temurin Containers provides a link to the official images for Eclipse Temurin in Docker Hub.
  • Linux Repositories provides links to the Adoptium Linux (RPM/DEB/APK) Installer Packages documentation page, which includes information about downloading RPM packages on RHEL from the packages.adoptium.net repository.
  • Package Managers provides links to information about other package managers such as Homebrew, SDKMan, and WinGet.
  • REST API provides links to information about the Adoptium API and Swagger UI v3 documentation.
  • GitHub Actions provides a Github link for the setup-java action.

  • Other Downloads provides a link to nightly builds of Eclipse Temurin, which are a series of beta releases created as a development step towards a full release.

    Note

    Adoptium provides beta releases for development purposes only. Beta releases contain the most recent changes delivered into Eclipse Temurin, which are useful for verifying fixes in development mode. Beta releases are not considered production ready and are not directly supported by Red Hat.

  Option 4: Use the Eclipse Temurin Marketplace or the Marketplace API

  Click the Marketplace tab. This opens the Adoptium Marketplace web page, which lists various distributions, such as the Red Hat build of OpenJDK and Eclipse Temurin. Alternatively, you can send a request to the Adoptium Marketplace API v1 to serve up these distributions.
