Chapter 2. Support policy for Red Hat build of OpenJDK
Red Hat will support select major versions of Red Hat build of OpenJDK in its products. For consistency, these are the same versions that Oracle designates as long-term support (LTS) for the Oracle JDK.
A major version of Red Hat build of OpenJDK will be supported for a minimum of six years from the time that version is first introduced. For more information, see the OpenJDK Life Cycle and Support Policy.
RHEL 6 reached the end of life in November 2020. Because of this, Red Hat build of OpenJDK is not supporting RHEL 6 as a supported configuration.
From November 2024 onward, Red Hat provides extended life cycle support phase 1 (ELS-1) support for new releases of Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11. For more information, see Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11 - Extended Life Cycle Support Phase 1.
