As of JDK7 b21 JVM's have an expiration date. For example in the release notes:
JRE Expiration Date The expiration date for JRE 7u21 is 07/18/2013. I *think* it's meant to give an indication about being it time to install an update. Taking Java's recent history about security issues, this is probably a good idea. Does somebody in here knows whether there's a way to find - programmatically - this date ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
