3. Liberica JDK 11 distribution
Liberica JDK 11 is distributed as .rpm, .zip, .deb and .tar.gz packages. Please select the most appropriate for your purposes.
Liberica JDK 11 introduced all new features supported by OpenJDK 11.
With the introduction of the Jigsaw feature in JDK 9 and Minimal VM it is now possible to create a Runtime that is sufficient to run your application and trim down the size of the Runtime. To generate a Runtime with just the Minimal VM, add --vm=minimal to jlink options.
Liberica JDK continues to provide support for AOT and Graal JIT. Since in OpenJDK 11 builds these features are deemed experimental and deprecated, it is recommended to compile native executables with Liberica Native Image Kit to avoid errors.
By default, the Liberica uses Server VM. Server VM and Client VM can be enabled with -server and -client command line options, respectively. In case the deployment requires minimizing the footprint, it may be beneficial to use Minimal VM, which emphasis is a minimal footprint. It has C1 JIT compiler only, Serial GC and no serviceability features.
