In the past, Oracle used to publish an executable installers for Windows that would:
As of Java 11, the Oracle's free version of Java (Oracle OpenJDK) doesn't seem to include an installer. It is just a zip file containing the binaries.
How are we supposed to install OpenJDK 11 on Windows seeing as the aforementioned integrations are no longer there? Aren't they necessary?
From the comment by @ZhekaKozlov: ojdkbuild has OpenJDK builds (currently 8 and 11) for Windows (zip and msi).
AdoptOpenJDK is a new website hosted by the java community. You can find .msi installers for OpenJDK 8 through 14 there, which will perform all the things listed in the question (Unpacking, registry keys, PATH variable updating (and JAVA_HOME), uninstaller...).
Use the Chocolatey packet manager. It's a command-line tool similar to npm. Once you have installed it, use
choco install openjdk
in an elevated command prompt to install OpenJDK.
To update an installed version to the latest version, type
choco upgrade openjdk
Pretty simple to use and especially helpful to upgrade to the latest version. No manual fiddling with path environment variables.
You can use Amazon Corretto. It is free to use multiplatform, production-ready distribution of the OpenJDK. It comes with long-term support that will include performance enhancements and security fixes. Check the installation instructions here.
You can also check Zulu from Azul.
One more thing I like to highlight here is both Amazon Corretto and Zulu are TCK Compliant. You can see the OpenJDK builds comparison here and here.
