Re: ACS current version out of date

[Dave <dfx1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all for the feedback.

As for the options given for the maintenance, I wouldn't know or be
permitted to start. With Sumaru, I think you are basically saying that this
will permit ACS to continue using the version of java that it was designed
for, even when a new version of java is installed on windows, is that
correct?

Unfortunately, nobody seems to know who is responsible for ACS here, it's a
bit of a shambles.
But I think I'm right in saying that you cannot just update java on windows
and expect everything to work forever. I'm just saying because I'm running
into a lot of problems with the application crashing regularly and the
people in charge of windows don't seem to be interested. I'm saying that
it's a security risk because there's no way of knowing if and when the
users will be affected if java is continually updated and java applications
aren't.
