Community Support
We are prepared to stand behind our release qualitybinaries, so each build that is identified as a release receives supportvia the Adoptium® community. Our support means that you canraise anissue to describe a bug you have found in the build, and we will workwith you and the appropriate development team to resolve it. Any fixeswe identify will be delivered as part of the next Adoptium release.
As a community of open source developers, our commitment is to triageany issues raised and champion them in the appropriate source codeproject. Of course, if the problem arises from the way we build and testthe code we can fix that directly. For dedicated support with servicelevel agreements, you should contact commercial companies offeringsupport on Temurin binaries. ReadJava Is Still Free (3.0.0)for some background information about Java support options.
Commercial Support
We understand that some users prefer commercial, paid-for support of Eclipse Temurin. Eclipse does not provide such services but please see ourCommercial Support page where a list of companies offering contracted support is maintained.
Release Roadmap
The frequency of Temurin releases is guided by the schedule of ourdependencies.
OpenJDK provide a new feature release every six months, and amaintenance/security update based upon each active release every threemonths. The release dates for those from the OpenJDK project are typically thethird Tuesday ofJanuary, April, July and October. We will follow this schedule forpublishing binary releases from Adoptium to ensure you get the latest,most secure builds.
In addition, every two years since 2021 one feature releasewill be designated as a Long Term Supported (LTS) release. We willsupport LTS releases for at least four years. This assurance will allowyou to stay on a well-defined code stream, and give you time to migrateto the next, new, stable, LTS release when it becomes available.
Based upon this roadmap, here is the timetable showing the current releasedates of the various OpenJDK releases used to build Eclipse Temurin. Notethat the dates below are from theupstream OpenJDK project page and shouldnot be considered the date which the Adoptium project will have binariesavailable - there will be a short delay relative to these dates while wecomplete our extensive build and test cycles which can take up to threeweeks. OurGoogle Calendar with our release cycles shows the expected cycle lengths for eachof our releases. We always prioritise the most popular platforms whichwill typically appear within a few days of these dates.
