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.
