It's still toast though: https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/end-of-public-updates-is-a-process-not-an-event Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end Java SE 8 was released on March 18th in 2014. By the time Oracle Java SE 8 reaches the end of public updates for commercial users in January 2019, Oracle will have provided almost five years of continuous, free public updates. With an Oracle Java SE Subscription, commercial users can continue to benefit from support and regular updates to Oracle Java SE 8, including enhancements and critical patches, for an even longer period of time. For example, the Java Web Start technology will continue to be commercially supported in Oracle Java SE 8 until at least March 2025. Not all users of Oracle Java SE 8 use it commercially. Some use it to play games, or to run consumer productivity applications. Oracle will continue to provide free public updates of Oracle Java SE 8 for personal users until at least December 2020. During that time, personal users should contact their application providers and encourage them to migrate their applications to the latest version of Java, or else switch to alternative applications.
