Where are the Java 7 updates for OpenJDK?

Question

Oracle has released update 2 for Java 7, while it appears OpenJDK is still on the original build 147 which was released last summer.

Will/are updates available for OpenJ

Answer 1

From this blog post, it tries to clarify, it will not be expected to get update for OpenJDK unless specification for Java is revised.

From the author's comment, which was given as explanation, is quoted below

We plan to produce Linux and Windows RI binaries from the OpenJDK code base. Technically, only one is needed but traditionally Sun provided more than one to facilitiate for implementors. Note that the RI has a very specific purpose (eg, to serve as the RI) and is generally not updated except when/if the specification is revised.

To clarify OpenJDK is the RI (Reference Implementation) from Oracle.

I did not tried for exact information from oracle. But I am convinced with the blog post.

So the thing I can understand: Neither expect any update nor any bug fixes for OpenJDK.
