The direct download links for GraalVM are broken

[retropele]

As in the title, the direct links for GraalVM provided on the main page are broken.

I'm currently looking to see if (very specific use case) I can find an ARM64/aarch64 Java 8 GraalVM implementation, and I can't use those links or seem to find anything elsewhere, either. :(

(If you know where I could find this, or if it even exists... let me know...)

I don't know about GraalVM for arm64, but at least Azul Platform Prime is available for arm64 for Java 8, 11, 17, 21: https://www.azul.com/downloads/#prime

The new JDK 17+21 are now downloadable without an Oracle account. GraalVM Enterprise Edition has been reworked and the Enterprise Edition name has been shelved. Here are the new download locations: https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/ or https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#graalvmjava21 (Do note that these two will provide the same file.)

This is also the equivalent to the now old Enterprise Edition. Community Edition is still available as it has no license attached. The new GraalVM JDK license is more open to the community as it allows you to use it for a whole year for free. This means you will have to always use the most up to date version or pay to use the older versions once the year deadline is up. Which is not a worry here as the usage is not to develop for GraalVM but for its improved Runtime performance. This is great for the community right now, as we don't need to worry about the restrictive effects of needing an Oracle account to get the GraalVM JDK.

This Github should update to reflect this new information that has been around for about 4 months now.

Enterprise Edition has not been shelved, they're still clearly marked separately from GraalVM (Tabs 2-4 & 6) https://www.oracle.com/downloads/graalvm-downloads.html

Java 8 is only available in v21 while Java 17 is available in v22

Does indeed seem there's no Java 8 for arm64 on GraalVM. :( Thank you anyway.

Thank you for the advice. The Zulu OpenJDK implementation for aarch64 works fine, but unfortunately for whatever reason (I'm using Asahi Linux with Apple Silicon) I get bad integer errors with Platform Prime Zing JRE8 on aarch64. Linux on Apple Silicon is still very much a work in progress though, so it's probably that.

This is true and as far as I can tell unfortunately there's no arm64 release of GraalVM for Java 8. I know it's a ridiculously specific case though.

It's of little use to anyone bar me probably, but there's a very hidden build of the Redhat Java 8 release for aarch64, built for RHEL hidden in the package listing for the official OS.

Still requires the sign up probably. It doesn't seem to be anywhere else but does look like a fully functioning aarch64 rpm file (I'm using it). Shenandoah does seem to be included and functioning. :) Maybe that'll save some soul out there using Fedora Asahi and looking to play Minecraft 1.8.9. :sweat_smile:

Note how all the versions still labeled Enterprise Edition are old. Oracle GraalVM is the new branding and encompasses all the features previously exclusive to the Enterprise Edition.
