Found a comparison between AdoptJDK and OracleJDK in adoptopenjdk.net/MigratingtoAdoptOpenJDKfromOracleJava.pdf

But the doc seems to be outdated. Is there an updated table available elsewhere?

This forum is for asking about Eclipse's Java Development Tools and how to use them. It's not the best place to ask general Java questions or about comparisons between various JDK suppliers, so it might well be you get no answer at all her

AdoptOpenJDK and Oracle JDK are both implementations of the Java Development Kit (JDK), which is a set of software tools used to develop Java applications. While both are based on the same codebase, there are some differences between the two:

Licensing: Oracle JDK requires a commercial license for production use, whereas AdoptOpenJDK is available under open-source licenses such as the GPL or Apache 2.0. This means that AdoptOpenJDK can be used for free in commercial environments, while Oracle JDK requires a paid license.

1: Support: Oracle JDK provides commercial support and updates, while AdoptOpenJDK is community-supported. However, there are companies that offer support for AdoptOpenJDK as well.

2: Release cycle: Oracle JDK has a predictable release cycle, with new versions released every six months, while AdoptOpenJDK's release cycle can vary based on community contributions and other factors.

3: Version compatibility: Oracle JDK is known to be slightly ahead of AdoptOpenJDK in terms of version releases and feature sets. However, AdoptOpenJDK typically catches up fairly quickly.

4: Availability: While Oracle JDK is only available for download from Oracle's website, AdoptOpenJDK can be downloaded from multiple sources, including its own website, and is available in various packaging formats.

hope this will help you
