I was incorrect in my initial creation of the description. Temurin 22 and the Java 22 migration guide are available and the links are provided. IBM Semeru 22 is currently not available yet, and will be added later once it is.

Java 22 is a non-LTS version of Java.

Hi @gjwatts - Given that it's non-LTS, is there a Liberty-specific EOS release for Java 22?

[gjwatts]

@dmuelle Good question David, thanks for asking.

We end support for non-LTS releases when the next version comes out. I spoke to Alasdair about this and we decided that something like "When Java 23 is supported" would be a good way to handle that field for Java 22. Feel free to tweak the words as you see fit.

Hi @gjwatts - this update is ready for review on the draft site:

https://docs-draft-openlibertyio.mqj6zf7jocq.us-south.codeengine.appdomain.cloud/docs/latest/java-se.html

If any further edits are needed, just let me know. If not, you can add the technical reviewed label to this issue to sign off and the changes will publish wit the 24.0.0.4 release. Thanks!

@dmuelle Looks good David, thank you.

@dmuelle Hi David. Semeru 22 was just released today. Looking to update the page https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/java-se.html from
IBM Semeru 22 (coming soon)
to
IBM Semeru 22

Should I open a new Liberty doc update for this?
