Java SE: Current Status
summary
Clarifies JVM vs JRE vs JDK and shows Oracle moving to produce OpenJDK binaries from Oracle that include previously commercial features, aiming for binary interchangeability across vendors (Red Hat, IBM, Amazon). Introduces a six-month cadence (March/September) with year.month versioning and a parallel long‑term support stream — first LTS targeted as 18.9 with at least five years of security and stability updates. Notes migration quirks, niche vendor forks, and OpenJFX/embedded packaging as remaining integration questions.
