Description

Based on the official OpenJDK JRE for the Java 8 Long-Term Support (LTS) release, designed for application runtimes. It includes all the tools needed to run Java applications, such as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), core libraries, and standard utilities.

JDK/JRE 8 community support end of life date is November 2026, making it a legacy choice for users seeking to run existing applications that require this specific version.

Sourcemation’s JRE 8 container images are based on the popular Temurin/Adoptium binary builds, and are made to be drop-in replacements for Temurin/Adoptium images, providing the same reliability and performance with the added benefits of using Debian as the base operating system for better compatibility, security, stability, and additional Sourcemation value-added features.
