Canonical Decides To Double Down On Their Investment In Java For Ubuntu


Ubuntu maker Canonical has decided to 'double down' their investment in OpenJDK Java for Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu Pro subscriptions will extend to a minimum 10-year security support guarantee for all OpenJDK LTS builds, with the widely-used OpenJDK Java 8 planned support with Ubuntu Pro being 20 years in lasting until 2034. While Linux users like talking about Rust and other modern programming languages these days -- including Canonical working to make use of more Rust infrastructure in Ubuntu -- Java continues to be quite popular in enterprise environments. Those curious about Canonical's plans around OpenJDK support on Ubuntu can find more details via the Canonical.com blog.
