I wonder what is the use case for jdk-slim docker image?
In which cases should I use jdk-slim instead of jre?
Are there any well-known issues (e.g. some monitoring tools are not working on jre?)
Purpose of AdoptOpenJDK jdk-slim vs jre?

jdk - stand for Java Development Kit, so it includes development tools (e.g. javac)
jre - Java Runtime Environment (no Javac, for instance).
slim - This image installs the -headless package of OpenJDK and so is missing many of the UI-related Java libraries and some common packages contained in the default tag
Do you need to build something with your image? => jdk or jdk-slim.
Do you need just to run already build app? => jre or jre-slim
P.S. It's too late for the author. Hopefully, it will be useful for somebody else.
