General information
JDK 11 updates will be delivered in a quarterly cyle. Usually releases happen mid of January, April, July and October.
The jdk11u-dev mercurial repository is the default repository for collecting changes. The jdk11u repository is used for stabilizing and delivering the quarterly JDK 11 update releases.
Contributing
Fixes to the OpenJDK must generally be done in the upstream development repository jdk/jdk first. As a matter of fact, changes to JDK11 updates will mostly be backports of issues from upstream. There are exceptions when there's the need for a fix that only applies to JDK 11 updates.
Everybody should feel encouraged to suggest fixes for JDK 11 updates and do the work to get them in. Everybody can do it, at least the most parts of the work. For details, on how to do it, continue reading here.
Should you, for some reason, not be willing or able to drive a fix into OpenJDK 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 some community member to pick it up and do the work for you.
Fix Approvals
In general we follow the common rules for the jdk-updates project.
Push approval for a fix is requested by setting the jdk11u-fix-request label on the original bug. The maintainer will either approve by setting jdk11u-fix-yes or reject by setting jdk11u-fix-no. If and only if the fix gets approved, it may be pushed to the jdk11u-dev repository.
When a a JDK 11 update release is already in ramp down (jdk11u), a fix can be requested for consideration using the jdk11u-critical-request label. The maintainer may approve with jdk11u-critical-yes, defer to jdk11u-dev or reject. If and only the fix gets approved with jdk11u-critical-yes, it may be pushed to the jdk11u repository.
