Summary: New Java LTS phenomenon and Derby
Key: DERBY-6996
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6996
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: sagar
Java will now have a 6 monthly release cycle and an LTS every 3 years.
So the next LTS is Java 11 to be released in September 2018.
Will Derby also have LTS.
I propose that Derby supports only LTS releases of Java.
As in Derby 11 would be Java 11 LTS.
Then 3 years later a major release of Derby to coincide with Java LTS.
In between there could be point releases for fixing bugs or incorporating
absolutely non ignorable performance enhancement in the 6 month Java release.
Just a suggestion.
