The Eclipse Foundation and the Adoptium Working Group Announce the Latest Eclipse Temurin Open Source Java SE Runtime
As enterprises seek vendor-neutral Java options, the Adoptium Working Group unveils the latest Temurin release, an ROI tool, and a funding model to support the future of open source Java BRUSSELS, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Eclipse Foundation, a leading open source foundation, in collaboration with the Adoptium Working Group, today announced the latest release of Eclipse Temurin's Java SE runtime. As organisations around the world reevaluate their approach to Java, given recent changes in licensing and support costs, Eclipse Temurin continues to see incredible growth, having just surpassed 600 million downloads, rapidly approaching double the 380 million recorded at this time last year. This release improves stability, security, and platform coverage, including updates to Windows AWT behavior, Docker image cleanup, and expanded support for AIX ppc64 systems. These updates reinforce Temurin's focus on platform relevance, modernisation, and enterprise-grade stability. 'Eclipse Temurin's incredible growth reflects a clear shift in how enterprises are managing their Java enterprise application infrastructure. Organisations are seeking secure, high-quality, open source, and vendor-neutral alternatives, and Temurin delivers just that,' said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. 'With this latest release, we're continuing to deliver the quality and assurance organisations expect from commercial offerings, while also introducing new ways for the community to support and sustain this momentum.' The latest Eclipse Temurin release (8u452, 11.0.27, 17.0.15, 21.0.7, 24.0.1) includes: Reverted AWT headless detection on Windows to avoid regressions. Removed outdated Docker images for Windows ServerCore & NanoCore (1809). Added AIX ppc64 support for JDK 24, improving enterprise platform reach. Delayed Windows aarch64 build for JDK 24 due to unresolved test issues. In addition to the latest release, the Adoptium Working Group is also introducing two related initiatives to educate enterprises and ensure Eclipse Temurin's continued growth remains sustainable. First, the Working Group released a new ROI calculator that helps organisations quantify the financial impact of switching to open source Java, with enterprises reporting average annual savings of over $1.6 million after migrating from paid Java SE options to open source solutions like Eclipse Temurin. The Working Group also launched the Temurin Sustainer Program, which encourages reinvestment in the technology infrastructure that powers mission-critical Java workloads. The Eclipse Temurin Sustainer Program invites enterprises benefiting from Temurin to contribute a portion of their savings back into the project. Contributions are not required, and supporters can choose from several flexible funding tiers based on their estimated savings and scale of usage. These funds support faster releases, security maintenance, and expanded test infrastructure. The Temurin ROI calculator, available here, provides personalised estimates of Java support cost savings for organisations of any size. The Temurin Sustainer Program is not just about cost efficiency but also about supporting one of the most critical elements of an enterprise's technology stack. For enterprises relying on open source solutions like Eclipse Temurin, this program enables them to optimise their investment in Java and contribute to the broader innovation driving this ecosystem forward. The Eclipse AQAvit project is a prime example of how the Temurin Sustainer Program will continue to drive innovation, enabling smarter automation, better test coverage, and faster delivery across Java SE runtimes. Eclipse AQAvit™ is the quality and runtime branding evaluation project for Java SE runtimes and associated technology. During a release, it takes a functionally complete Java runtime and ensures that all the additional qualities are present that make it suitable for production use.

HARMAN Becomes One of the First to Open-Source Complete Connected Services Platform with Eclipse Foundation
GARCHING, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a major step toward powering the automotive industry's shift to software-defined vehicles (SDVs), HARMAN — an automotive technology leader and subsidiary of Samsung Electronics — has become one of the first to open-source a full connected services platform. This move will unlock new levels of collaboration and foster modular development and deployment. The platform, now available through the Eclipse Connected Services Platform (ECSP) project, represents a pivotal moment for automakers and developers working to bring scalable, cloud-native innovations to market. The initial release is now publicly available, marking a major milestone for the Eclipse SDV Working Group, as the ECSP is already being used in large scale production by automakers and large fleet operators. The platform is designed to support connected car deployments of up to 100K vehicles by enabling a variety of critical functions, including reliable and secure vehicle-to-cloud connectivity, high-volume vehicle data ingestion and routing, vehicle and device management, user and identity management, streaming application enablement, vehicle telemetry, and many more. 'Successfully accelerating the transformation of the software-defined vehicles era requires a collaborative spirit that brings together leaders across automotive and software development,' said Heiko Huettel, VP of Software Products at HARMAN. 'Our work at HARMAN is guided by the philosophy that collaboration is the foundation for delivering truly scalable, SDV solutions. By open-sourcing our connected services platform, we're giving others across the industry the ability to build upon that foundation, speed up their development cycles, ensure greater interoperability, and contribute to a more robust, open ecosystem.' Last year, HARMAN became a strategic member of the Eclipse SDV Working Group at The Eclipse Foundation. The group's goal is to support the development of open-source software for comprehensive in-vehicle and around-the-vehicle systems development, including immersive in-cabin experiences. 'HARMAN is demonstrating industry leadership in contributing the ECSP to the Eclipse SDV Working Group. ECSP brings important new capabilities that accelerate the development of flexible cloud-native vehicle architectures in open source,' said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. 'With advanced support for connectivity, remote management, fleet operations, and data monitoring, ECSP gives automotive OEMs a powerful open-source foundation for delivering differentiated in-vehicle experiences.' With this launch, HARMAN reaffirms its commitment to heavily investing in open-source communities, both with existing assets and developers. HARMAN invites other industry players to join the Eclipse CSP initiative to help evolve the project even further.
