RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The Japanese Era name will be changed on 2019-05-01 / component java-1.7.0-openjdk / rhel7
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.

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.
