#Red hat openjdk code
RH OpenJDK 8 includes all Java sources code inside the src.zip file (that is used by IDEs to allow browsing jdk code), in upstream build substantial part of these sources is not included RH OpenJDK 8 may use slightly newer timezone data - it is taken from RHEL/CentOS RH OpenJDK 8 uses the set of root CA certificates from RHEL/CentOS RH OpenJDK 8 uses sources from RHEL/CentOS for dependency libraries (zlib, giflib, libjpeg-turbo, libpng, nss (nss is not used anymore)) instead of the (partial) sources of these libraries that are included in-tree in upstream jdk sourcesĮlliptic Crypto implementation in RH OpenJDK 8 includes only 3 most popular elliptic curves - NIST P-256, NIST P-384 and NIST P-521. RH OpenJDK 8 includes Shenandoah garbage collector RHEL/CentOS changes can be tracked in a publicly-available repo for CentOS RPM These sources are generally very close to upstream sources, but contain some changes (see points below) and may include some bugfixes (RPM patches) ahead of time.

RH OpenJDK 8 build is done from the sources of OpenJDK RPM package that is used on RHEL/CentOS.

Generally Red Hat builds are trying to stay as close as possible in behaviour to OpenJDK 8 package that is included in RHEL and CentOS. Technical differences between Red Hat OpenJDK 8 for Windows and other mentioned builds are pretty minor, as all these builds pass TCK. All the restrictions about the "development use" are related only to the subscription (support) that can be purchased from Red Hat.
#Red hat openjdk license
