Since Java 9, Oracle will release new Java versions every half year. I don't want to sound impatient, but supporting Java 8 took a long time. Since Java 9 containing stuff like Jigsaw it looks to me that it would be quite some work to support it (but good because it might make it easier to reduce the size of the Java App Engine Standard runtime).
What is the plan for App Engine? Support every new version after it comes out? Or only target the LTS versions like Java 11 is going to be. I was also wondering how it is going to work on app engine flexible. You can run it with your own java installation, but is that going to be expensive considering the new license model: https://www.aspera.com/en/blog/oracle-will-charge-for-java-starting-in-2019/ Would be great if the answer was "We are going to support every version, and since it's the OpenJDK you don't have to pay anything...." Any indication of the future of App Engine Java Standard? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
