This page covers the Red Hat build of OpenJDK production packages, which require a valid entitlement. Developer Builds are released for personal use under the Red Hat Developer Subscription and are unsupported.
Red Hat only provide support for Red Hat build of OpenJDK based on LTS OpenJDK releases (11, 17, 21…). The Red Hat build of OpenJDK release cadence follows the OpenJDK release cadence, with a new major version every two years (since 2021) supported for at least four years with quarterly maintenance/security updates (typically January, April, July, and October).
Red Hat documents the differences between Red Hat build of OpenJDK and Oracle JDK.
Support
Red Hat build of OpenJDK versions can fall out of support on versions of RHEL if the retirement date of the underlying RHEL platform precedes the retirement date of the OpenJDK version.
OpenJDK 11 will receive a review later in its lifecycle, and the lifetime may be extended beyond 2024, if there is sufficient demand.
OpenJDK 8 is not supported on RHEL6, even with Extended Life Cycle Support(ELS) Add-on for RHEL 6.
