How long will Ubuntu continue to provide Java 8 security patches

Asked by James Kennard

Hi,

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question. As I understand it, OpenJDK will continue to provide security patches for Java 8 until December 2030 (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java8).

How long will Ubuntu continue to provide a build openjdk-8? And how long will Ubuntu continue to apply security patches to openjdk-8?

Or is this a question for Debian team?

Thanks

James.

Ubuntu mirrors the debain packages so I'd ask there as well. May help. If you check the changelog for the package
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+changelog

You may see email addresses you can reach out to and you may get a reply
