As for the JDKs, they are basically all just OpenJDK repackaged. Think of them more like debian’s chromium vs arch’s packaged chromium.

You can generally use any.



No they are not.

Azul, PTC, Aicas, microEJ, OpenJ9 are their own thing. And then there is ART.

Also special stuff like Ricoh, Xerox, Gemalto, Cisco among many others using Java subsets to customize their hardware.


Sure, if we are being pedantic you are right. I meant it more like the “majority of well-known” or those with “bigger userbases”.

But the “niche” JVM category is really (perhaps surprisingly) huge.
