SapMachine is a downstream fork of the OpenJDK project, aimed at providing a binary distribution of OpenJDK for SAP customers and partners.

SAP is committed to the ongoing success of the Java platform and the OpenJDK project, maintaining SapMachine in an OpenJDK-upstream-first model. Additional information regarding SAP's engagement in OpenJDK is available on the SAP OpenJDK Engagement page.

Further details about SapMachine, including installation instructions, frequently asked questions, the maintenance and support statement, can be found on the documentation pages.

For SapMachine-specific concerns, please file a new issue.

General JVM/JDK bugs are managed in the OpenJDK Bug System. A SapMachine issue can be opened with reference to an existing OpenJDK bug for requesting resolution or backporting the fix to a specific SapMachine version. If a general JVM/JDK bug is found in SapMachine without editor access to the OpenJDK Bug System, an issue can be opened here, and a corresponding OpenJDK bug will be filed by us.

Since SapMachine tracks the OpenJDK, every SapMachine release contains all the fixes/changes of the corresponding OpenJDK release on which it is based.

External contributions to this project are currently not accepted. For code improvements or bug fixes, contributions should be directed to the upstream OpenJDK project. Repositories are regularly synced with OpenJDK, ensuring that upstream improvements are realized in SapMachine.

This project is run under the same licensing terms as the upstream OpenJDK project. Additional information is available in the LICENSE file in the top-level directory.
