There are a couple of things you need to know. First off, is this going to be a tag which got deemed GA, like jdk8u212-b03 from [1]? Otherwise you should make it clear (via version output) that this is *not* a GA release, but an internal build. It could look like the one you've posted. The EA builds identify as such. Example: $ ./openjdk-8u222-b06/bin/java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_222-ea" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_222-ea-b06) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.222-b06, mixed mode) Having said that, the upstream OpenJDK 8u project builds[2] have build scripts which could give some guidance (for such a jdk8u212-b03 GA build): https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-upstream-binaries/blob/jdk8u212-b03/build-openjdk8.sh#L29 That produces this -version output: $ ./openjdk-8u212-b03/bin/java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_212" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_212-b03) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.212-b03, mixed mode) HTH, Severin [1] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u [2] https://adoptopenjdk.net/upstream.html
