Overview of the Java Platform
summary
Java moves to six-month feature releases with occasional LTS lines for multi‑year stability, letting small changes ship faster while reserve big upgrades for LTS. Oracle now produces Oracle OpenJDK builds and pushes closed pieces like Flight Recorder and ZGC into OpenJDK. Java 9 contains over 100 JEPs, Java 10 had about 12 and Java 11 about 17. Commercial support shifts from $5,000 perpetual per processor to subscriptions that start at $25 per processor per month and $2.50 for desktop.
