Hey, Johnny,
Are there two updates for openjdk, or just one?
mark
There is one for java-1.7.0-openjdk and one for java-1.8.o-oepnjdk for both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 .. as both are being maintained. You may or may not have both installed.
For CentOS-5, there is no java-1.8.0-openjdk, only 1.7.0 .. so for CentOS-5, there is only one update.
Expect updates for java-1.6.0-openjdk soonish .. Oracle no longer supports that version directly, so Red Hat will have to backport updates that are required to that version. There will be updates for centOS-5, 6, and 7 for java-1.6.0
So, there are 3 versions of 'java openjdk' 1.6.0, 1.7.0, and 1.8.0 in CentOS-6 and 7 .. and only 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 in CentOS-5.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
