Hi,
I was wondering about that too when I read this thread on Tweeter
https://twitter.com/holgerbrands/status/957572736129339392
But it seems OK finally

Thank you Michael for starting this thread.
When discussing this, we will also have to consider that OFBiz currently
depends on several other Open Source products that will have to be
compatible with the platform we will choose (however, considering that
backward compatibility is maintained in new Java releases this is not going
to be a major concern).

Hi devs,
this is just an initial information and dicussion starter to make everyone
aware of this:
the Oracle Java release model is changing from a feature based to a time
based model [1]. One major drawback is that there will be no more public
patch releases for older versions once a new release is published, if I
understand correctly.
We'll have to discuss if this affects the project in terms of support for
the latest public Java releases. If we want to stay up-to-date according to
the public releases, we'll have to establish a process to early check the
new features and changes of a coming release and maybe release more often.
We might even have to support the latest Java release along with the
current LTS release to cover both users with and without commercial
support? I'm not sure.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Michael
