This project contains a downstream version of the OpenJDK project. It is used to build and maintain a SAP supported version of OpenJDK for SAP customers and partners who wish to use OpenJDK to run their applications.

We want to stress that this is clearly a "friendly fork". SAP is committed to ensuring the continued success of the Java platform:

• We are members of the JCP Executive committee since 2001 and recently served in the JSR 379 (Java SE 9), JSR 383 (Java SE 18.3), JSR 384 (Java SE 11), JSR 386 (Java SE 12), JSR 388 (Java SE 13), JSR 389 (Java SE 14), JSR 390 (Java SE 15) and JSR 391 (Java SE 16) Expert Groups.

• SAP is among the biggest external contributors (see fix ratio for Java 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) to the OpenJDK project (currently leading the PowerPC/AIX and s390 porting projects).

• We intend to bring as many features as possible into the upstream project and keep the diff of this project as small as possible.
