2024-01-22 ADDENDUM
The Linux binaries currently available replace those released on the 17th of January 2024.
Red Hat builds OpenJDK on a number of systems with different buildroots requirements, and typically releases the binaries built on RHEL 7 on the Customer Portal for maximum compatibility.
Red Hat discovered a problem during the latest release where we accidentally uploaded binaries that were built using a buildroot derived from RHEL 8.8 for all versions of OpenJDK. This caused some incompatibilities with older versions, because RHEL 8.8 has a newer glibc, among other libraries.
To determine if you are running the incorrect version on a RHEL 7 system, run ‘java -version’. If the command fails immediately, you might need to update to this release.
The following are the names of the distributions built incorrectly (please note the absence of ‘el’ in the filename):
java-17-openjdk-17.0.10.0.7-1.portable.jdk.x86_64.tar.xz
java-17-openjdk-17.0.10.0.7-1.portable.jre.x86_64.tar.xz
The following are the names of the corrected distributions:
java-17-openjdk-17.0.10.0.7-1.portable.jdk.el.x86_64.tar.xz
java-17-openjdk-17.0.10.0.7-1.portable.jre.el.x86_64.tar.xz
Please note, even if these binaries are built on RHEL 7 for backward compatibility, not all versions of the Red Hat build of OpenJDK are supported on RHEL 7. Please check the OpenJDK Life Cycle and Support Policy page for more information:
