It does not work on Windows. > > Huh? Since when? 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.
