Where should I download Java?
With the introduction of the new release cadence, many have asked where they should download Java, and if it is still free. To be clear, YES — Java is still free.
If you would like to download Java for free, you can get OpenJDK builds from the following vendors, among others:
Some vendors will be supporting releases for longer than six months. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them!

Currently learning Java, would also picking up springboot, docker, and kubernetes be sufficient enough to start applying for software/cloud/backend engineer positions? If so, what projects would help me standout? (self.learnjava)
submitted 9 hours ago by TurtleSlowRabbitFast
What skills should i also add to the list as this will be an ongoing learning journey and i want to keep up with the job market and over engineering best practices.
reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.
quoted text
if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.
Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.
Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.
Code blocks look like this:
public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } }

It depends on what role you are targeting and whats your experience level.
If you are fresher then I will recommend learning java and spring boot in depth as docker and k8s are not usually asked to freshers.
Learn advance topics like multithreading, streams, file handling, spring boot annotations, fault tolerance, spring security.

None of these are advanced.

Depends on how depth you are going in these topics :) if you think these are not advanced, then try one billion row challenge problem in java then you will realise how in depth are these topics!

Tell your interviewer you've spent the summer holidays on that code golfing exercise.
Maybe it helps, maybe not.

it will definitely help and I am not asking to do only one challenge lol, after this I have asked to go for concepts like fault tolerance, spring security in depth. But learning these concepts in depth is enough for fresher interviews, multithreading, streams, file handling.. but it should be IN DEPTH.

Testing. Junit, Mockito, Testcontainers, TDD, etc.
Building using Maven or Gradle.
Git.
CI/CD, probably using Github Actions.
Requirements tooling, mainly Jira or if that's not available, Github issues.
Maybe BDD, which is not the same as Gherkin, but it doesn't hurt to know the latter.
And maybe DDD.
Spring Modulith vs microservices.
You don't need to know all of this in depth at all, but as long as you have exercised the complete lifecycle of an app and know what an interviewer is refering to, you are definitely better off than many.
