OpenSCG maintains OpenJDK 6 installers for 32-bit Windows and other operating systems.

To configure it, create a JAVA_HOME environment variable and set it to C:\OpenSCG\openjdk-6.0.24 or whatever is the current version. Then add %JAVA_HOME%\bin; to the beginning of your PATH environment variable.

You can edit your environment variables by contextual clicking (My) Computer, selecting Properties, clicking Advanced system settings if you’re in Windows 7, clicking the Advanced tab and then clicking Environment Variables.

In case you are still looking for a Windows build of OpenJDK  Azul Systems launched the Zulu product line last fall  The Zulu distribution of OpenJDK is built and tested on Windows and Linux  We posted the OpenJDK 8 version this week  though OpenJDK 7 and 6 are both available too  The following URL leads to you free downloads  the Zulu community forum  and other details  http   www azulsystems com products zulu These are binary downloads  so you do not need to build OpenJDK from scratch to use them   I can attest that building OpenJDK 6 for Windows was not a trivial exercise  Of the six different platforms we ve built  OpenJDK6  OpenJDK7  and OpenJDK8  each for Windows and Linux  for x64 so far  the Windows OpenJDK6 build took by far the most effort to wring out items that didn t work on Windows  or would not pass the Technical Compatibility Kit test protocol for Java SE 6  as is    Disclaimer  I am the Product Manager for Zulu  You can review my Zulu release notices here  https   support azulsystems com hc communities public topics 200063190-Zulu-Releases I hope this helps

An interesting alternative with long term support is Corretto  It was anounced by James Gosling on DevOXX recently  It is a no-cost  multiplatform  production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit  OpenJDK   Corretto comes with long-term support that will include performance enhancements and security fixes  Currently it provides Java Versions 8 and 11  12 soon  and you can download binaries for all major platforms    Linux   Microsoft Windows   macOS   Docker    And the second interesting alternative is Dragonwell provided by Alibaba  It is a friendly fork but they want to upstream their changes into the openjdk repo regularily    They currently offer Java8 but the have interesting things like a backported Flight Recorder  from 11 to 8       And thirdly as already mentioned by others the adoptOpenJDK initivative is also worth looking at
