The Oracle changed their support roadmap has changed for the Oracle Java SE products¹. Starting of September 2017, they have Oracle moved to a "Long Term Support" (LTS) model for Oracle Java SE products. This means that LTS versions will be targeted for release every three years. In addition, feature (major) releases will be targeted for every six months along with quarterly maintenance/security updates. The support roadmap for the Oracle Java SE products will follow the following pattern:

Impact on Blueriq Java Runtime

This change in support from Oracle needs to be adapted by Blueriq. Since we don't want Our strategy is to compile Blueriq against non- LTS versions, doing this would cause us to change the compile JDK every 6 months, we are tied to the 3 year LTS release cycle. This way there is no need to change your environment JDK versions in every 6 months. For the non-LTS versions we aim to support them, meaning it is possible to run and create custom code/compile on the non-LTS versions. If possible we will also try to support the next LTS version while compiling on the previous version. This way migrating to a new version of Blueriq only means changing the Blueriq version instead of a multiple platform update.
