Michael, I realize you will want to hear from Adobe, or better to see the legal terms. And what I am asking here is something that someone (Sandip or otherwise) ought to be able to respond to, to help me see how I could still be wrong in my contention. For instance, many other comments here are unanswered. It’s sad that so many aspect of this matter can’t get more clarity in response. I’m simply asking questions and offering counterpoints for consideration. I just don’t see how the answer is logically consistent with what I’m seeing and saying here.Īll that said, I am not a lawyer, and am not advising people on what to do, and I take no responsibility for anyone’s actions. I appreciate Wil’s effort, and his sharing it here, and that Sandip was willing to offer an answer. Wil’s comment and conversation with Sandip here was about that matter. During those days, some may want to get the JVM update ASAP, and so they are left wondering, “is it really ok to get them from Oracle, if I am willing to login there?” The issue is that when new JVM udpates come out, it is sometimes a matter of days before they appear on the Adobe CF downloads page (mentioned in this and other comments here, ). Someone may wonder “why press on about this”. And when I have done comparisons of the same jvm installer (version, update, bit level, os), they HAVE been identical.
It HAS to be identical, if the installers are identical.
#Do i need java 8 update 191 license#
The license is shown and agreed to within the installer. If the binary installers are identical between what’s offered at the Adobe CF downloads page and the Oracle downloads page, why (indeed how can it be) that the “license attached” to them is different? I suppose a problem is that in some future time (could be years from now), the agreement that Adobe has with Oracle (the subject of this post) could expire, so that is a challenge with leaving the wording TOO open.īut with the Java world (Oracle and OpenJDK) going to such rapidly changing version numbers (and sometimes very short lives), it is important to make announcements like this one in a way that can be read to apply beyond just the current release, at the time it was written.
(Granted, 12 had not even come out at the time of this post, in Jan 2019.) It would be helpful for Rakshith or anyone from Adobe to update this post (the body, in addition to any reply to this) to indicate that it all still applies to Java 12 (and above), now that CF20 can support Java 12, as of the updates released yesterday, Sep 24 2019.Īnd please do offer whatever clarity you can on 12 AND ABOVE, because 12 is just a short-term release, as will be 13 (like 9 and 10 were). ColdFusion 11 will not have the Java 11 support. While we understand that there are alternatives to Oracle Java, including OpenJDK, we have currently decided to stick with Oracle Java.ĬoldFusion Customers may contact the Adobe customer care organization for all issues about their ColdFusion applications, including the underlying Oracle Java SE software.īefore the end of February, as a part of our upcoming update, Java 11 will be supported on both ColdFusion (2016 release) and ColdFusion (2018 release). Adobe shall keep you posted on any change in its support terms with Oracle that may impact customer. Support for Java will be provided in terms of redistribution and supports agreement with Oracle in relation to ColdFusion. Customer shall be supported on Oracle Java SE without having to contract for support directly with Oracle in order to run ColdFusion. This includes the Oracle Java SE 8 JDK and Oracle Java SE 11 JDK releases. ColdFusion customers can continue operating their ColdFusion applications with the existing Oracle Java SE JDK, with the extra benefit of being supported even when the Oracle Java SE JDK reaches the end of the public updates, for instance in January 2019 for the Oracle Java SE 8 JDK. The support covers the use of all Oracle Java SE releases, current and future, for ColdFusion customers to run their ColdFusion applications. All customers will need to abide by Oracle’s terms of use as they have previously. Support and distribution of Oracle Java SE, including all maintenance updates of Long-Term Support (LTS) releases (Oracle Java SE 8 and Oracle Java SE 11), will be supported by Adobe directly for all ColdFusion customers making use of the Oracle Java technology. We have some positive news to share with you!
