Chapter 3. Downloading Eclipse Temurin distributions

Procedure

1. Choose one of the following options to download an Eclipse Temurin distribution:

   1. From the Adoptium home web page or from the Eclipse Temurin project page , click one of the following buttons from the web page:

      • Latest LTS Release button that preselects Red Hat build of OpenJDK 17 for the platform that it detects you are using and immediately begins downloading that selection.
      • Other platforms and versions button that directs to a selection of all platform and version options, where you can choose the distribution that best suits your needs from the various formats such as archives, JRE archives and installers.
      • Release archive button that directs to a selection of latest releases, older releases, and nightly beta releases. Eclipse Adoptium provides older releases and beta releases for development purposes only. Beta releases contain the most recent changes delivered into Red Hat build of OpenJDK, which you’ll find useful for verifying fixes in development mode. Beta releases are not considered production ready and are not directly supported by Red Hat.
