Please, note that Java 9 is not LTS release and it's support ends in March of 2018! : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
while Java 8 will be supported at least untill January 2019 and December 2020: See "End of Public Updates for Oracle JDK 8" section for link above: >> End of Public Updates for Oracle JDK 8 >> As outlined in the Oracle JDK Support Roadmap below, >> Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE 8 to its public download >> sites for commercial use after January 2019. >> Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes >> as well as general maintenance for Java SE 8 or previous versions can get >> long term support through Oracle Java SE Advanced, >> Oracle Java SE Advanced Desktop, or Oracle Java SE Suite. >> All other users are recommended to upgrade to the latest major releases of >> the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK. >> Oracle does not plan to migrate desktops from Java 8 to later versions via >> the auto update feature. >> Individuals who require Java SE for non-corporate desktop use will continue >> to receive updates through at least December 2020 Also note that Java 10 also is not LTS release that will be supported untill September 2018. So migrate to java 9 or 10 has no sense. 19.02.2018, 11:55, "FR web forum" <ooofo...@free.fr>: > MSI feature will be great: > https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123427 > Provide MSI package for easy deployment > > My 2 ct. too > > ----- Mail original ----- >> De: "Peter Kovacs" <pe...@apache.org> >> À: "dev" <dev@openoffice.apache.org> >> Envoyé: Mercredi 7 Février 2018 22:13:58 >> Objet: Windows developent plan >> >> Hi all, >> >> I would like to bring up 2 future issues we will have. >> # Java : Soon Java 8 will run out of support.
