JDK 8: There will be no further public updates for JDK 8, although it will continue to be supported through to December 2030.
Supply Chain attacks on different Java JDK distributions have occurred in the past, therefore it is important to only source from reliable and professionally backed sources, and Azul certainly qualifies. The Azul has community versions of the OpenJDK distributions and these are our second recommendation if commercial support is not required. If you need commercial support for JDK 6 or 7 we recommend that you contact us about obtaining commercial support for Azul that includes supported versions of Java 6 & 7 across all major operating systems that includes backported security improvements. There are exceptions for licensed versions of WebLogic and Oracle applications that use WebLogic. Java JDK 6 & 7: Both JDK 6 and 7 are no longer commercially supported by Oracle – support for 7 finished in July 2022. The subscription is governed by a license from Oracle that includes right to audit of Oracle software. While Java was released under the GNU General Public License v2, the subscription service provides vendor support from Oracle for Java as an alternative to community support. For example, in 2018, JDK 7 was still supported by Oracle and JDK 17 LTS had not been released, in 2023 Oracle no longer support JDK 7 and JDK 17 LTS is now released.īackground: In January 2019 Oracle introduced a subscription service for both Desktop and Server use of Java SE. With the start of 2023, many changes have occurred and we have updated the 2018 article accordingly. This post was originally published in November 2018 and has been a popular resource for simple explanation to what has occurred with Java.
