Support distribution via tar.gz/ZIP archives #2
Comments
Great request! I'm going to break this into individual items so that we can track them and gather feedback on each. I think we can break it down into three:
|
How can we make sure the dependencies are right, like Centos dcoker image packages a cacerts in |
Normally the JDK zip/tarball distributions are packaged as self contained binaries without any external dependencies. For reference, have a look at the internals of the OpenJDK tarball distribution. |
We have slated this for GA, so I have added it to that milestone. |
So I see a tar version on the download page today for Linux. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/downloads-list.html

As part of Corretto8 preview2 we have made a TGZ version available for generic Linux systems. We will proceed to close this issue, but let us know if you have any further comments |
Will there be a zip distro for Windows as well? Per #40, #39, #43 -- The Windows installer is making a lot of system-wide changes that may not be desirable, particularly on machines with multiple JVMs installed. A zip distro would be a welcome alternative -- or perhaps I should file a separate issue to support a Windows installer option to not make system-wide environment changes? |
@glucas There are JDK and JRE zips for Windows available on the downloads page. These are going to continue being updated at the same time as the Windows installers. We also have more issues about changes to the installer, some of which you've commented on. We also plan to keep enhancing the installer in future releases. Do these actions address your concerns? |
Yes, thanks. Sorry for the noise, not sure how I overlooked that. |
Amazon Corretto is currently distributed in 4 flavors:
In order to support other distribution systems (eg: Docker images, SDKMan) it would be great if it was offered in "plain" archives (tar.gz, ZIP) containing the binaries for the respective operating systems additionally to the aforementioned distributions.
