Our use case is a proprietary app that still requires Java 6. Fortunately, OpenJDK 6 is still supported and security-fixed (well, backported patches) in Debian/Ubuntu.
- lmm 10y agoOpenJDK 6 won't be around forever. I strongly advise figuring out an exit strategy for that app.
- davidgerard 10y agowell, yes :-) It's an old version of Quova, an IP geolocator from Neustar. The new version is way better, but we can't be bothered rewriting the stuff that uses it until we have to.
- lmm 10y agoJava 6 EOL should be your "have to". It will be easier to fix before you get a hard deadline, and it's easier to upgrade by one version twice than by two versions once.
