<div dir="auto"><div>I think there are so many JDK releases that are unstable. More time need to be given to Java Languages Maintenance to improve Language functionality in real life scenarios and environment.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Not sure if this is the right address to talk about this issue so feel free to redirect me to another if it’s more appropriate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Since the introduction of 6 month cadence release JDK process there’s one issue in the process I think has not been addressed properly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Projects that want to follow the train in it’s tracks and be on latest, usually non lts, version and that use any non trivial kind of dependency (Spring, Sonar, …) they must accept the fact that there will be periods
of time (usually a month or two) where they’ll be forced to stay on an unsupported non LTS version until all of their dependencies add support for latest JDK version so they can upgrade as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With the process and all of the ecosystem in mind this is unfortunate because rarely anyone will want to commit to these periods of time where they’re basically on their own if something bad happens – e.g. a new critical
security vulnerability is found.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So I wanted to ask what’s your opinion on the matter? The message I got from all the talks is that JDK maintainers would generally like for people to upgrade to newer versions more frequently. Can something be done to
address this problem? Can we maybe have a up to 1 year commitment of security fixes for non LTS releases after they have been released?</span></p>
