OpenJDK does not provide binary updates directly from the update projects. I believe the official Eclipse Temurin image maintained by the Adoptium project is the obvious choice for a replacement image. There will be no further updates to the existing OpenJDK image, so users risk falling behind with functional and security updates to their Java SE usage unless they move to an alternate provider.

Now, Docker asks users to obtain their builds of OpenJDK, either from a commercial Java vendor or directly from the Adoptium project.

But in July 2022, the Docker Hub image builders announced the deprecation of this popular image. Docker Hub deprecates OpenJDK imagesįor many years, the official Docker Hub image builders took OpenJDK Java SE update binaries from Eclipse Adoptium and other locations to build their own image. Update maintainers affiliated with companies that provide commercially supported distributions of OpenJDK based on Java SE work as independent contributors to the project. Many vendors and distributors of Java SE subsequently build from the OpenJDK source code to provide new releases of their own branded Java SE offerings.Īndrew Haley (Red Hat) is the lead maintainer for Java 8 updates and Java 11 updates, and Goetz Lindenmaier (SAP) is the lead maintainer for Java 17 updates. They consider the opinions of multiple contributors when making such update decisions. The repository maintainers' role is to ensure that updates are both necessary and appropriate for deployed releases. Long-term supported releases such as Java SE 8 (since March 2014), Java SE 11 (since Sept 2018), and Java SE 17 (since Sept 2021) undergo a quarterly release update under the guidance of a lead maintainer. Subsequent updates to those features, including functional and security fixes, are led by maintainers working in the JDK updates project. OpenJDK is an open source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), on which multiple companies and contributors collaborate.Ī project at OpenJDK represents each new feature release of the Java SE specification. This article explains the decisions that led to this issue and proposes a solution. The Java runtime environment in your containers could stop receiving updates in the coming months.
