Liberica JDK Reviews & Product Details

I like that Liberica JDK is a very powerful, lightweight image optimized for Spring Boot. It’s the best distroless base image we’ve used, and it’s also lightweight because it takes up little space in our Artifactory and is easy to migrate. I appreciate that it’s updated to LTS versions of Java, and I find it easy to use. Plus, the initial setup was very easy—I just had to change the base image.

Maybe they should offer more support, but overall I haven't had any trouble reaching out to the support team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mostly use Liberica JDK for all my backend Java development. It's honestly a no-brainer—lightweight, stable, and makes containerizing my apps a breeze. The performance is top-notch, and I've literally had zero issues since making the switch, making my job life way easier. The biggest problem it solves is bloated container sizes and slow deployments; switching to Liberica's JDK builds shrinks them down drastically. It saves space and makes scaling up way faster. I definitely like the painless Docker integration and how lightweight it is. It plays incredibly well with Spring Boot, making the container images tiny, and it runs perfectly on both my local ARM Mac and our cloud servers without weird cross-platform hiccups. The Docker integration is flawless, especially for a Spring Boot dev, and Liberica being the default runtime recommended by the Spring team means it plays perfectly with standard cloud-native buildpacks. I also use it with Testcontainers for integration testing, and it handles everything like a champ. The initial setup was super easy by just switching the local project SDK to Liberica in IntelliJ IDEA and updating the base image tag in our Dockerfiles. For anyone doing Spring Boot or Docker work, I'd recommend it to any colleague without hesitation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really not much to complain about since it just works. If I had to pick something to improve, maybe the explanation for beginners on which version to actually download could be a bit clearer. Just adding a simple wizard or a quick 'if you are building, X download Y' guide for specific developer use cases would make jumping in completely frictionless.

I use Liberica JDK mainly for my Spring Boot services, and I find that building and deployments work smoothly for my apps. I really like how straightforward it is to use in Docker environments and CI/CD pipelines. By using Liberica JDK, I can run my Java app in testing, staging, and production, and it behaves the same way everywhere, which is super convenient. Plus, the initial setup was very simple and straightforward. I use it with GitLab CI and GitHub Actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that didn't work as well for me is not the SDK itself, it is the hesitation and extra validation that is required so my team would switch from other SDKs they are used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Knowledge, friendliness, perseverance. The team at BellSoft has a knack for finding and fixing bugs, especially those that other providers classify as "won't fix" or "not our bug". We've been fighting bugs in the 2D graphics and printing APIs and other JDK support providers fell flat. Furthermore, BellSoft has been in the industry for long enough that they're also quick to offer adjacent industry advice, such as help with bundling a JDK for distribution.

The only downside to using a 3rd-party for JDK support is getting buy-in from upstream. This is NEVER the fault of BellSoft and BellSoft goes above and beyond to be responsive and compliant to upstream needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use bellsoft/liberica-runtime-container:jre-24-slim-glibc as the base image for our Spring Boot microservices. The small image size helps us keep containers efficient, and it works reliably across all our services in production. We've had a smooth experience running Java 24, everything just works out of the box. It's reassuring to have a JDK that stays up to date with the latest versions without adding complexity to our build or deployment process. Security updates are delivered in sync with OpenJDK releases, which allows us to apply patches promptly and stay compliant with internal security requirements. If you're running Java in containers and care about performance, reliability, and staying current, Liberica JDK is a solid choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, we haven't encountered any issues - it has worked reliably in our setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Liberica JDK as the base for our Spring Boot buildpack-based Docker images across more than 70 services. It’s been stable and reliable in production. The migration from Zulu JDK was smooth, and we haven’t encountered a single compatibility issue. It’s easy to use, well-supported by the Spring ecosystem, and integrates flawlessly with the Spring Boot Maven plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there’s nothing we dislike about Liberica JDK. It’s stable, reliable, and just works. What’s surprising is how few developers seem to know that Spring Boot recommends it by default. It deserves more attention, considering how well it performs in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Liberica JDK because of the JavaFX and support of GraalVM. I used it to develop and distribute an educational desktop application for our client. No need to add extra dependencies to client projects. Moreover, thanks to Liberica NIK with JavaFX support, I was able to integrate GraalVM Native Image Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven't encountered any issues when using Liberica JDK and Liberica NIK across multiple client projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most that the JDK worked right out of the box for my office's needs. We were asked to choose our own Opensource JDK and google pointed me to this company. This was a seamless decision to migrate. I highly recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
