Hi Andrew,

AFAIK OpenJDK project at java.net does not provides updated windows
binaries. You'd have to compile yourself. They provide the RI, frozen in
time of the java 7 spec approval, with no updates since them. :-(
Oracle binaries use proprietary blobs, so they are not a free openjdk
build like the one we get as part of fedora and other linux distros. :-(
Years ago there was a group of postgresql developers provinding openjdk
binaries for windows as part of openscg, but they stopped, never
provindig openjdk 7 builds. I guess zulu is filling this gap.
Other source for openjdk binaries for windows is:
https://github.com/alexkasko/openjdk-unofficial-builds
Those look like they are still mantained, but I don't know if they have
the proprietary blobs.
[]s, Fernando Lozano
