== What is this "Eclipse Temurin"?

*Eclipse Adoptium* (Earlier known as AdoptOpenJDK) Project was started as a means to promote and support free and open-source high-quality runtimes and associated technology for use across the Java ecosystem. +
*Eclipse Adoptium Temurin* (/ˈtɛmjərɪn/), are certified high quality binary builds of OpenJDK.

The name Temurin is an anagram of runtime. Interestingly Temurin is also a chemical component (also known as Theacrine) that is structurally similar to caffeine but is safer for humans to consume (non-habituating effects). So a little reference to Java as well.

This is the project and brand name for the binaries that the Eclipse
Foundation produces.
While we appreciate that the Adoptium/Temurin name split
is more confusing than just "Adoptium", this is similar to how other
vendors brand their binaries, e.g. Amazon has Corretto, Azul has Zulu
(and others). The "Adoptium" project and working group will deal with
more than just Temurin so the distinction is important to maintain.

== What happened to AdoptOpenJDK?

The AdoptOpenJDK builds are now known as "Eclipse Temurin by
Adoptium"(https://adoptium.net/blog/2021/08/adoptium-celebrates-first-release/[read the blog post]).
Don’t worry though - despite the branding changes it is the same open build processes,
AQAvit test suites and primarily the same team producing them as before, but
there are link:/members[more larger companies] bringing their expertise
to the working group.

To ensure a smooth transition we have left the old site active, however,
the links to latest builds on the old site will now bring you to the
Temurin builds. In time the old website will be fully retired.

Some items, such as the https://adoptopenjdk.net/upstream.html[Upstream builds]
and https://adoptopenjdk.net/icedtea-web.html[IcedTea-WEB] remain only available
via AdoptOpenJDK.
