If you mention LTS you have to mention also vendor that provides it. Without it the only LTS is current java version: 16 right now and 17 in 6 months.

  Huh? There's like several LTS vendors: Oracle, Amazon, and Azul to name a few.

    Yes, but when someone mentions LTS many think ów like Ubuntu LTS or like Linux kernel LTS versions - that is free of charge long support. And many Java devs employers don't pay for LTS. So ad 1 and 1 and you get a false claim that any java 11 version is an LTS, which is not true.

  LTS stands for long term support. Nobody provides that for java 16
  • krzyk 6y ago
    OpenJDK provides that for 6 months. And then 6 months for a 17, and so on.

      That's not "long term".

        Don't look at version string, bu think java version "LATEST“. This will always have the bes support.
