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

Is it possible to include the full java version in the emails (I imagine that the other way for me to find it is to use yum? sorry, Linux n00b here)

Thanks,
