End of Public Updates for Oracle JDK 8
> http://www.oracle.co...eol-135779.html
Sep 12, 2017 - "... Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE 8 to its public download sites for commercial use after September 2018. Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 8 or previous versions can get long term support through Oracle Java SE Advanced, Oracle Java SE Advanced Desktop, or Oracle Java SE Suite. All other users are recommended to upgrade to the latest major releases of the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK.  
Oracle does -not- plan to migrate desktops from Java 8 to Java 9 through the auto update feature. Instead of relying on a pre-installed standalone JRE, we will begin encouraging application developers to deliver JREs with their applications. More details will be made available through early 2018...
Long Term Support...
** Java SE 9 will be a short term release, and users should immediately transition to the next release (18.3) when available.
*** Oracle has proposed a new version scheme (YY.M) starting in March, 2018. Java SE 18.3 will be a short term release and users should transition to the next release when available."
