It is actually not that complicated.

There is the open source OpenJDK project that maintain the reference
version of Java.

There are then a large number of builds based on that code:
* jdk.java.net
* AdoptOpenJDK
* Azul Zulu
etc.

They are all build from OpenJDK source, so same code. Just different
packaging and maybe some extra's *outside* of Java SE.

Then there are the commecial Java's:
* Oracle
* IBM
etc.

Oracle Java share almost all code with OpenJDK, but do come with
a few extras.

IBM supposedly get code from Oracle but replaced a few pieces with
their own code including a new JVM.

And Java is standardized. So if you use only documented features
of Java version X then any Java X implementation should work.
