• Older releases, which do not include the most up to date security vulnerability fixes and are no longer recommended for use in production, remain available in the OpenJDK Archive. GA Releases JDK 15.
• @Ankur Chrungoo Sure. His point was, where he could download a current Java 8 OpenJDK. – Anlon Burke Oct 22 '18 at 13:25. Openjdk.java.net does not provide release builds of OpenJDK 8 for Windows.

To switch between JDKs, use /usr/libexec/java_home -v version (e.g. 10):
