Thanks for the site. It answered a question I had in the back of my mind, but hadn't found the time to look up.

One suggestion I hope you can look into: the Java world is a lot bigger than just Oracle Java, with multiple implementations where End-of-Life greatly differs. If possible, people avoid Oracle Java. Look up OpenJDK, Eclipse Temurin, Azul, IBM Semeru. There are some more, but I have never used them.

We already track almost all of them. https://endoflife.date/tags/java-distribution

We have to redirect the /java page here, but stalled by some housekeeping of separating the 2 Oracle JRE pages.

Seconding this. As it stands, the Java page is only of very limited use.

Does this help: https://endoflife.date/tags/java-distribution

Yes, though it would be more helpful to have a comparison chart of the various (Open)JDK distributions, because for most purposes they are exchangeable, apart from the support terms.

Amazon Corretto 8 is widely used in the Finance industry for example
