Java LTS (17 and 11)?

The only bundles that provide java are these:
https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/java13-basic
https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/java13-runtime
https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/java-basic
https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/java-runtime

It looks like it's only java 8 and 13. None of them are supported anymore and should not be used. Can you add bundle with the jdk 17 (and 11 if possible). Without these you cannot run many java programs.

What about this? https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/java11-basic
Cant seem to find any for 17 though.

suggesting NOT having distro-level support of jdk/jvm families of tools and offloading support to https://sdkman.io for the java bytecode domain and especially the maven/gradle tools.

@jnorthrup but will those sdkman binaries be compiled in the same way as the current clear linux OpenJDK?

given the CLR usecase of shrink-wrapping highest performing builds, @marc0der might be persuaded to consider such a thing.

marc0der commented

@jnorthrup the binaries downloaded through SDKMAN are the exact binaries found on the origin download sites; we do not tamper with any binaries that upstream vendors provide.

Please forgive my ignorance, we are new to clear linux and looking for JRE17.
Is there already a decision if the Java LTS version will be included? Seems we now have to downgrade out app to jre11?
