Open JDK 8 Road Map

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Joshi,

the right list for this question is rather jdk8u-dev at o.j.n, so I'm sending my response there and put jdk-updates-dev on bcc.

Since RedHat is the maintainer of OpenJDK8 and OpenJDK11, I guess you can bear with their statements about support. You can find this article:  https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013

So I assume, as long as RedHat supports OpenJDK 8, you can be quite sure that there will be periodic security updates.

HTH
Christoph
