Future Java Availablity
« on: July 21, 2018, 03:33:06 AM »

With respect to the following link, do you have any plans regarding the future availablity of Java?
https://www.java.com/en/download/release_notice.jsp

Granted this only really becomes a problem at the end of 2020, but it would be nice to know there is a plan in place to deal with it.
