Java 7, 8, and 11 are the Long Term Release (LTS) versions, that are getting patched every 90 days. Support to 2025'ish for them. With 9+, all the other versions get a 6 month life span, with new features in each and heavy deprecation/dropping of older bits with each short term cut. 9+ is fairly backward compatible with each other. 8 to 9 required a bit of finesse for things like JAXB and other things dropped from the 'core' into external libraries. At least our shop made it to JDK 11. Next LTS version is 17, which is a while out. |
