Keep Older Java Versions Secure, Supported, and Stable
Red Hat OpenJDK 8 support ends on November 30, 2026, putting pressure on organizations still running critical Java applications on that distribution. OpenLogic helps you maintain and secure your existing environment while giving you the flexibility to plan an OpenJDK migration on your timeline, not someone else's.
Key Features:
- Java 8 and Java 11 patches and fixes until at least November 30, 2028
- Support for Java ecosystem components, including Spring and Tomcat
- OpenJDK support from Enterprise Architects with decades of Java experience
- Transparent instance-based pricing
- Security documentation for audit evidence
While other vendors just provide a patched build, with OpenLogic you get 24/7 technical support and migration expertise — along with tested, signed packages that are easy to install.

What Are the Options After JDK Vendor End of Life?
End of support milestones for Java 8 and 11 distributions like Red Hat OpenJDK and BellSoft Liberica JDK have created new operational and security risks. Organizations running those versions after vendor EOL must decide whether to:
Purchase support tied to a commercial software ecosystem (i.e. Red Hat, Oracle)
Switch to a free OpenJDK distribution that will get updates but no support
Rush an upgrade project and pull resources away from business initiatives
Adopt OpenJDK extended support from a third-party partner like OpenLogic to maintain stability while planning modernization
Keep Open Source Java Secure — With a Clear Path to Modernization
OpenLogic Extended Support is built from open source OpenJDK source code with security fixes backported as needed.
You continue running open source Java under the same license, without adopting a proprietary JDK fork or introducing unnecessary ecosystem lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
OpenJDK extended support provides continued security patching, support, and maintenance for OpenJDK releases after standard vendor support ends. It allows organizations to keep running existing Java environments while planning future upgrades.
Yes. OpenLogic provides commercial OpenJDK support for OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11, including security patching, technical support, and access to tested builds. Coverage options include Bronze and Premium support tiers.
The Java 8 ecosystem is reaching important support milestones, including the end of standard support for major vendor distributions. Many organizations still run Java 8 due to application dependencies and business requirements, making Java 8 extended support a practical option while migration plans are developed.
Organizations typically choose among four paths:
- Purchase vendor-provided extended support
- Switch to a different OpenJDK distribution
- Upgrade to a newer Java version
- Adopt OpenJDK extended support while planning a migration strategy
The best option depends on application complexity, compliance obligations, and migration readiness.
Yes. OpenLogic provides OpenJDK 11 Support, including OpenJDK security patches, extended support builds, and commercial support services for organizations that need continued coverage after standard support milestones.
Current coverage includes OpenJDK 8 Support and OpenJDK 11 Support. OpenLogic also provides migration assistance to Java 17, Java 21, and Java 25.
Yes. OpenLogic supports key components commonly deployed alongside OpenJDK, including Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Apache Tomcat, and Apache Kafka clients. This helps organizations maintain the broader Java application stack through a single support provider.
OpenLogic provides migration planning, modernization services, CI/CD enablement, testing, and implementation support for organizations moving from OpenJDK 8 or OpenJDK 11 to newer Java releases. These services are delivered by the same team supporting your current runtime.
