This year. Six months from today.


(just on the following up on this)

The non-LTS releases are every 6 months and have support for one year.

LTS releases are every 4th release which falls on odd numbered years in September.

Not exactly, they are supported for 6 months (well, till the next JDK release) at least the builds on jdk.java.net page. Other vendors might provide different support.

Azul for example supports some releases (13 and 15) for 3.5 or 2.5 years (MTS)


Oh really? Sweet. It’s only relatively recently I’ve been able to use Java 17 everywhere (there were straggler codebases).

And now I’ll get 21 soon? Awesome.
