Is there any OpenJDK version available to Windows OS? From the OpenJDK home page (http://openjdk.java.net/) it redirects to Oracle Sun JRE for Windows machine.

Is there any existing OpenJDK available to Windows? If yes, where to get it? If not, do we have to build it by ourselves (see http://blogs.oracle.com/poonam/entry/building_openjdk_on_windows)

You may find OpenJDK 6 and 7 binaries for Windows in openjdk-unofficial-builds github project.

Update: OpenJDK 8 and 11 LTS binaries for Windows x86_64 can be found in ojdkbuild github project.

Disclaimer: I've built them myself.

Update (2019): OpenJDK Updates Project Builds for 8 and 11 are available now.
