Since JDK 12 has reached general availability https://jdk.java.net/ suggests to download JDK 12.0.1 (which is not LTS). For current LTS version, archive contains only releases 11.0.1 and 11.0.2 - and there is no 11.0.3 (which has been released in April 2019).

Since JDK 11 is LTS, I expected OpenJDK builds to become available for all subsequent minor releases of it. Is it not the case?

Update 2019-05-10

On the Java SDK 11 page Oracle says that it

also provides the latest OpenJDK release under the open source GPL License at jdk.java.net

(the link is to https://jdk.java.net/ which only has link to JDK 12).

So, apparently there is something broken in providing Open JDK builds for LTS version 11.

On the other hand, Red Hat provides support for OpenJDK builds (including Windows platform), but it's not clear whether anyone can use it or only customers of Red Hat.

  • I believe since 12 has been released any subsequent LTS releases are only available to subscribers (i.e. you have to pay). The latest free version is 12.0.1. – Slaw May 02 '19 at 09:03
  • Not sure how this change relates to the management of that site, but Red Hat has taken over handling OpenJDK LTS recently. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- May 02 '19 at 09:21
