Description of problem: The Japanese Era name will be changed on 2019-05-01 / component icu / rhel5 openjdk code is referring to the japanese era name. All openjdk versions are affected. Expected results: The upcoming era name should properly be dealed with. Additional info: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_imperial_transition,_2019 - the new era name has not yet been announced. - We also have to modify glibc (for example bz1555189) and icu. - openjdk upstream seems to have implemented the new era now, with name NEWERA, which they intend to replace then later. I guess they wanted to be sure to have time to debug issues they might have with the change itself now that there is time, and later just want to replace the era. http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/2e3f73b616c2 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202088 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8205432 We are not necessarily requesting this in-between-step, the request of our customers is to have openjdk eventually deal with the new era name.
java-1.6.0-openjdk is EOL.
