    Results of the command ubuntu-support-status --show-supported show that openjdk-8-jdk is supported until April 2021 (Community - 3y). To show the same results in a more easily navigable form run ubuntu-support-status --show-supported | less and scroll down with the mouse to the openjdk-8-jdk and openjdk-8-jre support status. In Ubuntu 20.04 and later ubuntu-support-status has been replace by ubuntu-security-status which does not have a --show-supported option.

    openjdk-11-jdk and openjdk-11-jre are supported until April 2023 (Canonical - 5y).
