General Information

OpenJDK 11 updates will be delivered on the same established quarterly cycle used by Oracle i.e. "the third Tuesday closest to the 17th day of January, April, July and October."

...

New fixes should first be submitted to the development repository for the current version of OpenJDK, jdk/jdk or higher updates repositories. Most changes submitted to the OpenJDK 11 project will be backports from this repositorythese.   Exceptions are made if an issue only applies to 11.

Everybody is encouraged to submit fixes for OpenJDK 11 by creating a pull request to the jdk11u-dev Git repository. Established community members will help new developers without commit access in getting their patch reviewed. For details on the process involved, continue reading these backport instructions.

Should you not be willing or not be able to drive a fix into JDK 11 updates, you can still suggest changes by dropping a mail to the jdk-updates-dev mailing list. But by only doing that, you are at the grace of the community to pick up your suggestion.

...

At the end of the month prior to the release month, the jdk11u repository is declared frozen so embargoed security fixes can be added in private during the final few weeks. On release day, the final version will be pushed to the jdk11u repository and source bundles made available.

Common jdk11u JBS labels

The above filters exclude issues that are marked with the following labels:

• jdk11u-na Change does not apply to open jdk11u. In general, this is a change done by Oracle for their build or test infrastructure, for their own delivery or in their tests not open sourced. Any other change can also be not of interest to open jdk11u. In the past, we also used label openjdk-na for this purpose.
• jdk11u-jvmci-defer Changes that address jvmci and graal. We, the maintainers, currently do not backport these changes. Feel free to address them!
• jdk11u-solaris-sparc-defer Changes that address the Solaris or sparc ports. We, the maintainers currently do not backport these changes. Feel free to address them!
• jdk11u-a11y-defer Changes that address accessibility. These should be urgently backported.
• jdk11u-nashorn-defer  Changes to the Nashorn java script engine.
• jdk11u-defer-next Change is generally acceptable, but should go into the next JDK 11 update release. I.e. 1710.4 is currently collecting fixes in jdk17u-dev, but the proposed change should get into 11.0.5 (the next release) instead.  The maintainers will clear this label when development of the next release (11.0.5 in the example) is started.
• jdk11u-todo Changes Oracle backported to older releases that are not backported to open jdk11u.  We mostly need this tag to make the "all" filters more efficient.
