Disco API: OpenJDK Distributions As A Service

Damit unsere JUG Bonn Aktivitäten nicht noch länger brach liegen, organisiere ich mithilfe von Foojay (Friends of OpenJDK) ein virtuelles Treffen für und mit uns.

Genaue Uhrzeit, Technik & Co werden noch geklärt.

Speaker: Gerrit Grunwald (Azul)

Thema: Disco API - OpenJDK Distributions As A Service

Foojay.io is the new Java community platform with everything you need to do your daily Java development work — with reference materials on the latest OpenJDK versions, vendors, and distributions, together with insights into the latest quarterly updates, articles, blogs, tips and tricks, and much more. And all for free, accompanied by a Slack channel for discussion on all things Java and OpenJDK.

To celebrate and introduce https://foojay.io, members of the Foojay community are doing a JUG tour and one of the stops is right here. Come join in, learn about Foojay, and hear Gerrit speak on Disco API - OpenJDK Distributions As A Service.

"I have spent some time to create a little API that should help you to discover builds of OpenJDK from different distributions in a general way. In this session, I will give you a short introduction on what the Disco API is and how it can help you to find the JDK/JRE of your choice. At the moment, the API can help you to get builds of the OpenJDK from the following distributions -- AdoptOpenJDK, Corretto, Dragonwell, Liberica, Oracle OpenJDK, SAP Machine, and Zulu."
