Faster quarterly upgrade of JVM to remain compliance

Currently incidents are opened when we have issues in our organizations. We would need the product to be at least quartly Q1,2,3,4 aligned with JVM upgrade to avoid vulnerabilities.

Needed By Quarter

    Hi Ignacio, we have been regularly upgrading minor versions along with build updates. JVM is planned to be upgraded to Java 21, with a target date Q4 2026. Is your request for a major JVM upgrade?

    Hi Katie, if you see my case record im asking every year about java compliance. In concrete now, current one is marked with vulnerabilities and my org is pushing to update asap, escalating and in the end threatening to kill old java processes or create internal self identified audit issues.

    It should be more straightforward upgrade according to the published java vulnerabilities, as of now we are finishing Q2 and still in the Q1 JVM to 17.0.18.1.

    Thanks!

    Can you describe the issue you've seen? Is there any lagging update on the JVM? What are your expectations? Can you fill out your contact email so we can contact offline?
