About this talk
This talk, presented by Andrew Leonard from IBM, reviews the latest updates in the Eclipse Adoptium project, focusing on enhancements in build pipelines, testing, infrastructure, and supply chain security. The discussion addresses improvements in the Eclipse Temurin distribution process, including automation and scalability in the software delivery lifecycle, which are critical for supporting multiple JDK versions and architectures.
The speaker highlights significant changes in the CI/CD pipeline, such as the decoupling of architecture-specific builds, automated package publication, and enhanced testing practices using the AQAvit framework. Additionally, the session covers the introduction of reproducible build verification using SBOM data and bit-for-bit comparisons of build artifacts, which bolster trust and transparency in the Java runtime distributions commonly used in production systems.
