RE: Has IBM announced any reaction to Oracle's announced end of public updates for JDK 8

Tim:

Thanks for clarifying.

Greetings. Thought I would chime in with the IBM i view of Java.

Java on IBM i as delivered through the JV1 product is not the Oracle
version of Java. You are using the IBM version of Java and you will
continue to have support as that is all covered in your IBM i support
contracts. As we look to the future of Java, our plans are to support each
of the long term version of Java. Currently that is Java 11.

Access Client Solutions (ACS) prior to version 1.1.8 will run on any
version Java. Once you are at 1.1.8 you to run on Java 8 or higher. So
this means we can and already support running on Java 9 and Java 10, etc.
Also, yes you can run on the IBM version of java. Also ACS can run on s
different version that is what is considered the default for the PC. For
details on getting the IBM version of Java follow the instructions
below....

At this point we have no plans on changing ACS to include a JVM.
