--------------------------------------
Thanks for that additional insight. I recommend taking this discussion to the
developer's list, since that is where the vote would happen.
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
