Encouragement and disappointment as you building a binary distribution of OpenJDK
summary
BellSoft turns the OpenJDK codebase into a production binary called Liberica JDK, adding platform-specific patches, installers and packaging for mac/windows/linux and container images, running and fixing results from hundreds of compatibility tests and benchmarks. The build workflow exposes surprising cross‑platform failures, missing runtime bits and installer regressions, drives investment in platform support and testing infrastructure, and yields a mostly working distribution after iterative fixes though some edge platforms still require followup.
