   Is #adoptium , née #AdoptOpenJDK, officially the "new IcedTea" and IcedTea is deprecated?

   Red Hat is (was?) supporting both, IcedTea-Web was donated to AdoptOpenJDK and #IcedTea hasn't released anything after JDK 8, but I can't find an official statement on the matter.

   Or is it the case that OpenJDK upstream after 8 is officially buildable using only Free tools, so IcedTea no longer serves a purpose and Adoptium serves a different purpose (offical certification)?

      @clacke Good question. I only learned of #Adoptium because I was trying to install #Netbeans a year or so ago. Thus, I do not have an answer.
      
      (Both Netbeans and #jEdit found an older 8.x JRE and used that instead.)
