Re: [openj9-dev] Security Update Policy

["Mark Stoodley" <mstoodle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

> Lately
there has been a little re-shuffling in release cycles/security update
policies on Java VMs JTrying to figure out a way forward and a VM to choose for the future, is
there any information regarding OpenJ9’s security update policy, release
cycles, etc.?

Short answer is that we're still putting
together the full answer to your question, but there is some useful information
presented as part of this discussion on our proposed support statements:
        https://github.com/eclipse/openj9/issues/1616

You'll see there is a proposed release
cadence for Eclipse OpenJ9 in a table in that issue that I'll summarize
as "basically quarterly" and also aligning as much as we think
possible with the expected activities at OpenJDK. Our nightly and release
binaries are built at AdoptOpenJDK and you can read their statements here:
https://adoptopenjdk.net/support.html.

I know it's not exactly what you're
asking for but I tried to provide as many details as we currently have.
If you have specific follow-on questions, feel free to ask here or on our
slack channels and we can try to work through the gaps together as a group.
