Seems like willful incompetence on the company’s part.

Just for note, JDK 8 came from the same time as Windows XP. Sure, the attack surface is different, but if they have no plans on moving forward and doesn’t even want to pay for support, then frankly fck them. Then they just surprise pikachu when a bunch of their user data leaks.

That seems oddly hostile.

We moved to the latest LTS. Continuing to use an old version with no security updates would be moronic. Of course we didn’t do that.

All I was saying was sticking with 8 wasn’t tenable for financial reasons.

Err, what? Windows XP was EOLed a month before JDK 8 was released.
