In an exciting development, RISE has partnered with the Eclipse Adoptium Working Group to bring Java to the RISC-V architecture. This collaboration ensures that Java developers can now leverage the RISC-V, which is known for its flexibility, scalability, and openness..

Java 17, 21, and 22 on RISC-V

As a result of this partnership, Java versions 17, 21, and 22 are now available on RISC-V through Adoptium Temurin. This means that developers can run their applications on RISC-V hardware using the latest long-term support (LTS) version, Java 17 and 21, and the cutting-edge features of Java 22.

Adoptium Temurin: Ensuring Compatibility

Adoptium Temurin, the free and open-source Java runtime, plays a crucial role in this integration. It ensures that Java runs smoothly on RISC-V, maintaining the performance and reliability that developers expect. With Temurin, transitioning to RISC-V becomes straightforward, enabling developers to focus on innovation.

A Step Towards the Future

This partnership marks a significant step towards a more inclusive tech ecosystem. By making Java available on RISC-V, Eclipse Adoptium and RISE are paving the way for new innovations and broader adoption of this promising architecture. Whether you’re an enterprise looking to migrate or a developer eager to experiment, this collaboration ensures that Java remains a reliable choice on RISC-V.
