Oracle:

Hey everyone remember when we invented Java and it was secure and then we kept adding badly thought out features until it became terribly insecure

well we're doing that again only 10x faster so all good bro

also we're fixing browser security by taking it completely out of the browser

hope you enjoy

<< Greg Luck: Yes, it is too much. The community only wants a new version of Java every 3-4 years.

Oracle is speeding up Java releases combined with reducing the support period for these new releases unless you are a customer of theirs. Java 9 and Java 10 are only supported for 6 months! So, Java 9 is now unsupported as of March 2018!!>>

<<Why would you use a version of Java you cannot get new updates for? Java 9 and Java 10 should be considered beta versions from a production standpoint.>>

@natecull How does this affect Open JDK or is this going to be a case of 6-8 still being out there in the wild, and Java 10+ being the alleged production releases.

@craigmaloney Java 11 I think is the first LTS release - and even then it may be 'for paying Oracle customers only',

Utter, utter trainwreck.
