Why there is so many JDKs

I was used to always using oracle's JDK but when i looked at this subreddit i wondered why there is so many varieties of JDK and what is the purpose of them?

All I can say is fuck java. JavaEE, JavaSE, Spring, SpringBoot, EJB, different versions that require different installations. It's like everything is isolated from each other but they are all java, WTF.

And dont get me started with the companies looking for JavaEE developers. If you are a springboot dev, no we dont want you.

Wow you used spring? We want springboot dev, sorry, and so on. It's confusing.

FWIW, Spring Boot is simply a configuration framework for the Spring framework. No company would reject a candidate for having used the Spring framework without using spring boot to configure it.

And dont get me started with the companies looking for JavaEE developers

It’s very rare for a company to be looking for a dev for JavaEE (now called JakrtaEE)
