OpenJDK 11 RedHat repository

Latest response

OpenJDK 11 went GA 25 Sept 2018.
I am looking repository path on which OpenJDK 11 rpms are hosted if java 11 is available on RedHat Repository.

After attaching to the streams with subscription manger, I couldn't find the openjdk 11 rpms from rhel-7-server-rpms repo

Hi Sarfaraz,

Please read the Red Hat OpenJDK 11 Advice - it says : Red Hat is planning to release ... "as soon as possible". :)

Christian

Hi Sarfaraz,

You are a little bit early ... OpenJDK 11 is still in "Red Hat testing mode" and hence as of today not available in the repositories.
Once OpenJDK 11 is being made available, I think we'll see an official announcement, and a matching Knowledgebase article. :)

Regards,
Christian

thank you for the update. Can you please let us know the dates as to when can OpenJDK 11 will be part of repository?

You're welcome, Sarfaraz ! :) Unfortunately I can't tell you the exact availability date because I'm not a Red Hat employee, but I think as OpenJDK is a popular application, it won't take too long until it gets pushed to the repositories. Mainly it depends on stability - which means : "It's ready when it's ready".

Regards,
Christian

Thanks Christian. Can you give me the reference of a person who can confirm the tentative dates for openjdk 11 rpm in the repo?

No Sarfaraz, I can't ... and even if I could name a person, you wouldn't be lucky, because the Red Hat developers generally don't provide information about when software versions get released - sorry. :)

Regards,
Christian

Hi Safaraz,

QA in general take at least a month or so, if faster it would mean that the older versions contain a generic bug.

Jan Gerrit

P.S. this is my personal observation, not a statement Red Hat will be able to confirm or need to deny.

Is it possible to use it from some testing-repos? We would like to test on some of our internal applications...

Hi Kjetil, no - such a testing repository for being used by customers doesn't exist ... sorry. :)

Regards,
Christian

Hi Sarfaraz,

If you don't want to wait, you can install OpenJDK 11 manually - although I don't recommend to do it ! :)
Here is the download link -> https://download.java.net/java/ga/jdk11/openjdk-11_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

Hi Sarfaraz,

Some good news for you - I just read that OpenJDK 11 will (most certainly) be available in the upcoming RHEL 7.6 edition. :)

Has anyone seen any evidence of whether OpenJDK 11 will be supported in RHEL 6? I've seen 2-3 blog posts about its availability for RHEL7, but nothing explicitly saying it won't be supported in RHEL6, just the slight implication due to its lack of inclusion in the posts.
