The adoptopenjdk.net site has been used to host builds of the JDK for both hotspot and openj9 builds (the latter being the IBM JVM which has many many optimizations for the Z environment). However, adoptopenjdk is moving to Eclipse’s adoptium site. However, according to the Eclipse site: “Eclipse Foundation projects are not permitted to distribute, market or promote JDK binaries unless they have passed a Java SE Technology Compatibility Kit licensed from Oracle, to which the OpenJ9 project does not currently have access.” I can’t pull the OpenJ9 JDK from that site. This is a PITA as there are multiple packages that pull JDKs as part of their build process. It means they can’t access the highly-optimized-for-z openJ9 JDK in this way (e.g. https://api.adoptium.net/v3/binary/version/....).
It also seems that, even though the adoptopenjdk site still exists and I can download JDKs from there I cannot use the API to do things like: wget https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v3/binary/version/jdk-11.0.13+8/linux/s390x/jdk/openj9/normal/adoptopenjdk whereas https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v3/binary/version/jdk-11.0.13+8/linux/s390x/jdk/hotspot/normal/adoptopenjdk works fine. The “normal” appears to no longer be supported with s390x so “large” or similar should be used but substituting it in the former URL doesn’t work either. Is there any expectation that openJ9 will be supported by Eclipse’s adoptium any time soon (i.e. before adoptopenjdk disappears)?
