      I would like to see a set of different JDK vendors, maybe configurable from a dropdown menu, in the one-click JDK installer, that preferably is not Oracle, doesn't need an account to download and can be used without a commercial license, so basically all of the OpenJDK vendors, such as Adoptium, Azul Zulu, or Corretto. There are a plenty more, I only listed the ones I frequently use in an descending order.

          [JENKINS-67191] Add less concerning JDK distributions for tool configuration

          Mark Waite added a comment -

          The AdoptOpenJDK plugin provides tool installers for Eclipse Temurin JDK installations provided by Adoptium.

          This won't be implemented in the jdk-tool plugin because that plugin is described as the "Oracle Java SE Development Kit Installer" and those installers are not from Oracle.

          See the "Usage recommendations" section of the plugin documentation for the preferred approaches. That documentation recommends using a locally accessible Zip file as first preference, with the AdoptOpenJDK plugin as an alternative for those rare cases where a local Zip file won't work.
