JDK 11 updates are part of the JDK updates project of the OpenJDK. Rob McKenna serves as the Project Lead. The list of Reviewers, Committers, and Authors can be found in the jdk updates of the OpenJDK Census.
JDK 11 updates will be delivered in a quarterly cyle. Usually releases happen mid of January, April, July and October.
Update fixes are collected in the jdk11u-dev repository and update releases will be stabilized in the jdk11u repository. At the beginning of a release cycle, the jdk11u-dev repository will be tagged with jdk11.0.x+0, where x is a placeholder for the update release. At a certain point in time a release cycle enters ramp down phase 2 (RDP2) and jdk11u-dev will be transported to jdk11u. In jdk11u, stabilization is done by (only) accepting high priority or test fixes. jdk11u will be tagged on a weekly basis, when new changesets have been pushed. The tags will have the format of jdk11.0.x+n, where x is a placeholder for the update release and n is the monotonically increasing build number. At the release day, security changes that have been collected in a secure environment and tested internally at Red Hat will be merged into jdk11u and the final tags jdk11.0.x+n and jdk11.0.x-ga will be set. Each tag that gets set in jdk11u will be integrated back to jdk11u-dev in a timely manner.
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. It will then reach the next JDK 11 update release that is not yet in RDP2 phase.
If a fix needs to be integrated into the current JDK 11 update release after RDP2, this can be requested via the jdk11u-critical-request label. The maintainer will approve with jdk11u-critical-yes or reject with jdk11u-critical-no. If and only the fix gets approved, it may be pushed to the jdk11u repository. Eligible candidates for approval after RDP2 would be fixes that Oracle has brought to their correspondent JDK11 update release, fixes for high priority issues and test fixes.
In the very last days before the release date, we won't accept any pushes to jdk11u in order to have the maintainers of the security fixes finish up their testing.
jdk11u-dev: Collecting 11.0.4 fixes. Pushes after jdk11u-fix-yes approval.
jdk11u: Collecting 11.0.3 fixes. Pushes after jdk11u-critical-yes approval.
