Read MoreA Decade of JDK Updates in OpenJDK
Since Oracle began developing updates for the JDK with the JDK 7 Updates Project in 2011, a lot has happened in the OpenJDK community. The development processes have been constantly adapted, so that today the changes to the updates begin their journey as pull requests on GitHub. But what happens next with the changes? In this session we'll take a look at how it all began and how the development of JDK updates works in practice today.
