Does that mean

sudo pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk

[nikgnomic]

Use this command to install jdk-openjdk

sudo pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk

and then this command to update other repository packages:

sudo pacman -Syu

Or use Manjaro package manager pamac:

pamac install jdk-openjdk --no-upgrade; pamac update --no-aur

Entirely depends on the package set.

https://archlinux.org/

Should be pretty accurate:

This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:

If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages.
If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed.

At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

But that may change slightly if AUR packages are added to the mix, or if Manjaro maintainers missed a thing or two with branch snapping.

archlinux.org Should be pretty accurate:

One would think so, but a thread in the Archlinux forums suggests that pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk works more consistently.

Interestingly, the announcement sent to the arch-announce mailing list also suggests the same.

Indeed

@philm The linked Arch Linux announcement contains incorrect information, pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk DOES NOT WORK. What does work is pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk followed by pacman -Syu. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2129801#p2129801 $ sudo pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk :: Synchronising package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date multilib is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace kdsoap with extra/kdsoap-qt5?
