Xenial 16.04 OpenJDK 8 (security) updates roadmap?
Public update of JDK8 will end 2019-JAN as mentioned by Oracle http://
But since Xenial has the package OpenJDK8 and Xenial is LTS unitl 2021-APR,
does this mean that we can rely on receiving updates incl. security updates for Xenial after 2019-JAN?
Thank you,
Eduard

Quoting https:/
OpenJDK 8, the former upstream LTS release, is still available and has been moved into the community-supported universe repository. Security updates for OpenJDK 8 will be provided until April 2021 for both Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS.
What about 20.04, will security updates for OpenJDK 8 also be provided until April 2021?
