Some options for those who prefer to avoid the Oracle minefield: https://adoptium.net https://aws.amazon.com/corretto https://www.azul.com/downloads https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads Sadly, no-one has managed to package it yet, but we should get something in the next couple of days. Since 21 is an "LTS" release, major Linux distributions will provide a runtime pretty soon. Ubuntu backports them to old releases too. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Also, make sure you're either in compliance with Oracle's licensing requirements or download an OpenJDK version. I'm partial to Azul Zulu with JFX for desktop work, and use Amazon Corretto as the base image for containerized applications. Source: over 1 year ago
Java is not a program, but an entire programming language. I use it for a lot of high performance web servers (via Spring Webflux and Eclipse Vert.x) on most of my projects. To run any piece of Java code, what you'll need is the JRE / JDK (Java Runtime Environment / Java Development Kit). I would recommend going with OpenJDK and installing from Eclipse Termium or Amazon Corretto (make sure to install Java 17). Source: over 1 year ago
