During the 2010 JavaOne conference Oracle announced that
it would merge the Oracle JRockit JVM and HotSpot JVM by incorporating the features that were
only available in JRockit into HotSpot.

WithJDK 7 Oracle started delivering on that vision. It completed the
work with JDK 8. Customers using the Oracle JRockit JVM, in the
meantime, have been receiving periodic security updates and bug fixes. CPU releases and bug fixes for Java SE 6 JRockit (R28 only) will continue to be provided until the end of JRockit for Java SE 6’s extended support phase, currently scheduled for December 2018.

A Migration Guide for customers moving from the Oracle JRockit JVM to the HotSpot JVM has been published. It provides information on many common tools and options available for JRockit and their HotSpot counterparts.
