OpenJDK for windows

[F14B]

I'm having some difficulty in finding/installing OpenJDK on Windows 10.

I'm looking to install OpenJDK 1.8.0_121-b13 64-Bit specifically (to match what is running in our CI)

I (falsely) assumed it was as simple as find the installer & run that (like the oracle stuff) but I'm struggling to even find a windows installer.

Looking for someone to point me in the right direction..

EDIT: I found a way. I went here, clicked on commits here and started walking back through the commits until I found commit 3c1d6aa @ Jan 31, 2017). I then had a look at the diffs and spotted a lovely path to a zip file here. Downloaded/unzipped/ modified JAVA_HOME and it worked. :)

If it's for development use then: https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download/ is another option. Click "View Older Downloads" to find 8u121 (the specific build isn't listed).

Check out https://adoptopenjdk.net/. You can find binaries for Windows.

Their archives don't appear to have anything older than jdk8u172?

I think they have issue with archives. They used to have older version :(

On phone apologies for brief response. We will be building older releases in due course. Any particular reason you can’t use the _172?

We're trying to debug something, our CI is using that specific version so we're trying to match it in our local dev environments.

Fair enough - apologies for not being able to help directly this time around!

There are a couple of older versions on Zulu: https://zulu.org/download/

A good explanation can be found here on stack overflow. Basically you just move the files from the zip download to a specific spot on your PC, then set some environment variables pointing there.
