End of Support for java-1.7.0-openjdk package in Amazon Linux 2 Core

On February 1, 2026, Amazon Linux will end support for the java-1.7.0-openjdk package in the Amazon Linux 2 core repository. Until then, Amazon Linux will continue to evaluate relevant CVEs, however security updates will be limited to Critical fixes only.

The upstream OpenJDK project discontinued support for Java 7 in July 2022. We recommend customers move to using java-1.8.0-openjdk in AL2 core repository, java-1.8.0-amazon-corretto in AL2 corretto8 extra, or any of the supported Corretto versions on Amazon Linux 2023.
