'''Free Java implementations''' are [[software]] projects that implement Oracle's [[Java (software platform)|Java]] technologies and are distributed under [[free software licences]], making them [[free software]]. Sun released most of its Java source code as free software in May 2007, so it can now almost be considered a free Java implementation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.redhat.com/ko/blog/openjdk-and-the-icedtea-project|title=OpenJDK and the IcedTea Project|website=www.redhat.com|language=ko|access-date=2019-12-16}}</ref> Java implementations include compilers, runtimes, class libraries, etc. Advocates of free and open source software refer to free or open source [[Java virtual machine]] software as '''free runtimes''' or '''free Java runtimes'''.

As of September 2007, as well as javac, Sun has released the code of [[HotSpot (virtual machine)|HotSpot]] (the [[virtual machine]]) and almost all the [[Java Class Library]] as free software.

Because of these previously encumbered components, it was not possible to build [[OpenJDK]] only with free software components. In order to be able to do this before the whole [[Java Class Library|class library]] is made free, and to be able to bundle [[OpenJDK]] in [[Fedora (operating system)|Fedora Core]] and other free [[Linux]] distributions, [[Red Hat]] has started a project called [[IcedTea]]. It is basically an OpenJDK/[[GNU Classpath]] hybrid that can be used to bootstrap OpenJDK using only free software.<ref>{{cite web

As of March 2008, the [[Fedora (operating system)|Fedora 9]] distribution has been released with OpenJDK 6 instead of the IcedTea implementation of OpenJDK 7.<ref name="fedora9redhat" /> Some of the stated reasons for this change are:

In June 2008, it was announced that [[IcedTea]] 6 (as the packaged version of OpenJDK on [[Fedora (operating system)|Fedora 9]]) had passed the [[Technology Compatibility Kit]] tests and can claim to be a fully compatible Java 6 implementation.<ref>{{cite web

In September 2013, Azul Systems released Zulu, a free, open source build of [[OpenJDK]] for [[Windows Server]] and the [[Microsoft Azure]] Cloud. Later releases added support for [[Mac OS X]], multiple versions of [[Linux]] and the [[Java Platform, Standard Edition]] version 8. Zulu is certified compliant with Java SE 8, 7 and 6 using the OpenJDK Community [[Technology Compatibility Kit]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.azulsystems.com/products/zulu|title = Core}}</ref>
