In July 2022, Oracle ended support for Java 7, meaning there won’t be any more update releases from Oracle – ever.

As many as a million developers are still using Java 7 or earlier – 15% of all Java users – according to JRebel’s 2021 Java Developer Productivity Report.

Read this white paper to learn the main considerations that should inform your decision. Chief among them are these four risks of using unsupported free Java:

  1. Security vulnerabilities
  2. Leaving your intellectual property unprotected
  3. Compliance issues
  4. Free and unsupported JDK may not be enough
