Maintenance mode, that's ridiculous. It's just had one of the biggest releases in years, with 8. And 9 I understand it is going to be even bigger, with jigsaw - the goal being much smaller dependency. The Dev community is thriving, growing in fact. The latest release has made lots of people think Java is actually pretty good. The reference implementation is now the open jdk. So yadda yadda yadda with oracle.
