Why do you have to "keep updating every 6 months"? Lots of projects stuck on java6, 7 or 8 without updating for years.

- Cthulhu_ 8y agoThat's probably a misconception based on the new Oracle JDK release and support cycles; new release every 6 months, at which point support for the -1 version is immediately stopped (unless you have a commercial license or something). This LTS version is probably different (hence the name LTS), but it's also commercial. Anyway it's a misconception because it only applies to the Oracle JDK, OpenJDK still follows a different support structure I believe.
