  That has been dropped in Java 10 and Java 17 is getting released next month, thus only works in what I consider legacy runtimes. https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/372 https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/372

    Well, then it is still on many production systems that still run on Java 8.

      Yeah, Java's version of Windows XP and Python 2, time to move on.

        Not quite. While Java 10 is end-of-life because it isn't an LTS version, Java 8 still is actively supported.

          Kind of, depends how much one is willing to pay for support. https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roa... Shops that care about LTS should be on 11 instead of clinging their teeth on 8.
