Hi Marco,
OpenJDK 6 is the earliest such OpenJDK Project.
We don't provide binaries, though, except in the case of a reference
implementation of a Java SE platform JSR. You can find them at
https://jdk7.java.net/java-se-7-ri/ and
https://jdk8.java.net/java-se-8-ri/ - but they are provided primarily
for use by implementors of the Java SE 7/8 Platform Specification and
are recommended for reference purposes only, i.e. they receive no
further updates.
I would suggest pre-packaged binaries for
Linux, MacOSX, Cygwin/Windows and FreeBSD. Currently, most developers
use Oracle JDKs because OpenJDK simply isn't available for their
platform. This is very sad, as we are missing a great opportunity in
helping the adoption of the OpenJDK!
Third party provided binaries are typically available on all of the
above platforms, often from more than one party. Have you looked at
collaborating with such third parties directly?
cheers,
