View Full Version : [SOLVED] Cannot find version 14 of OpenJDK for Ubuntu 20.04

I've installed Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa and was trying to install the latest Java JDKs in both flavours: OpenJDK and Oracle.
However, searching via apt search gives OpenJDK (and also JRE) only up to 11th edition.

Searching on https://packages.ubuntu.com/ narrowed do focal distribution also gives results up to openjdk-11-jXX.
Switching the distribution of choice to eoan, gives all up to date versions including 14th.

I'm not asking how to enforce the installation of exactly 14th edition of OpenJDK, but rather I'm asking for the reason for this.
Is it due to any security reasons and I should also get rid of 14th Oracle version (downgrade it to 11th)?
Or just patiently wait because OpenJDK-14 need to be approved for Focal Fossa?

**THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BY ITSELF: Today I've noticed that OpenJDK-14 is finally added to Ubuntu 20.04 standard repositories.**
