No more public updates for java 1.8 since next September

user10654662Dec 12 2017 — edited Feb 26 2018

I have a big question here.

Many of my legacy systems runs with old java versions. I would like to migrate all those system during next year to java 1.8, because java 1.9 has only three moths of life and no of my current App servers support it (WildFly, Weblogic).

For my surprise Oracle have anounced that there wont be new updates of java 1.8 since next September. So, What should be my next move? On one hand, I cannot go to an unsupported java versón. On the other hand, if a security bug is found in java 1.8 I won't have any patch available.

  Please! advice!
