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

Again the JVMs on IBM i are IBM products not Oracle, so IBM plans to support
them the way it always has.

< Java 7 and 8 will continue to be supported on IBM i. No impact to IBM i
customers.

Does "supported" imply security updates will be sent via PTFs by IBM.

And what if the IBM I is processing credit cards, which uses Java.
Factor in the PCI compliancy issues.

Where does that leave us?

Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap

What liability (if any) will IBM i customers incur for IBM's decision to use
Java for its server products like Navigator for i, and client products like
Access Client Solutions?
