Java Platform, Standard Edition 8 Reference Implementations

The official Reference Implementations for Java SE 8 (JSR 337) are based solely upon open-source code available from the JDK 8 Project in the OpenJDK Community. Binaries are provided for both the Linux x64 and Windows i586 platforms and Compact Profiles for Linux i586.

The binaries are available under two different licenses: The GNU General Public License version 2, with the Classpath Exception and the Oracle Binary Code License . For a given platform the binaries under different licenses are built from exactly the same source code and are functionally equivalent; the only real difference is the license itself. Which license you choose will depend upon your particular business and legal requirements.

These binaries are for reference use only!

These binaries are provided for use by implementers of the Java SE 8 Platform Specification and are for reference purposes only. These draft Reference Implementations are under review prior to being submitted for final approval in the Java Community Process. Binaries for development and production use will be available from Oracle and in most popular Linux distributions.
