Oracle removed JRE 10.0.2 download and released a broken Java 10.0.99 update
The Java preference panel in macOS just notified me that there's an update to Java 10 (supposedly version 10.0.99). I proceeded to "update", but it didn't actually install a new version. Instead, it asked me to remove my "outdated" version 10.0.2. I agreed to it, but the "installer" didn't end up installing a new version 10.0.99 after uninstalling 10.0.2. I also can't find the supposed version 10.0.99 on Oracle's website. The download links for JRE and JDK 10.0.2 dmg files are also dead now. So now I'm left without a JRE/JDK that I can freely use for commercial purpose (JDK 11 is licensed differently).

- cnahr 8y agoI just saw the update notice myself (on Windows) but the numbering was bizarre and I couldn't find any official announcement or download, so I just killed and deleted the Java Update Scheduler instead. Useless as of JDK 11 anyway due to changed licensing. Did Oracle get hacked?
- binghe 8y agoI believe the only purpose of that "JDK 10.0.99" is to remove all existing JDK 10 installations (and push you to use either JDK 8, if installed, or JDK 11).
