[German<\/a>]Oracle released Java SE 8 update201 in January 2019 (quarterly patchday). This is a security update that closes vulnerabilities (see also Oracle Security Advisory January 2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"A German reader left this comment<\/a>, mentions this update. I checked JAVA within the control panel and let it search for updates. Under Windows 7 SP1, the JAVA Updater displayed a notification in the taskbar and reported the update. Subsequently, the update to Java 8 Update 201 was offered and installed on request. <\/p>\n

After successful installation, a dialog box was presented, indicating upcoming changes. From the end of 2020, Java 8 will no longer be updated. For enterprise customers, a commercial license will be required for updates from January 2019, according the the change notes.<\/p>\n

\"JAVA<\/p>\n

However, Oracle does not agree here, because while the page here still indicates January 2019 as the date from which a license is needed in companies, the above dialogue bod claims that company users will only be affected from April 2019.  <\/p>\n

\n

There is also update 202. Version 201 is the version that contains all security updates. Version 202 is a variant with all security updates and some additions that different users\/developers need.. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The various Java packages can be downloaded from this Oracle website<\/a> (or here<\/a>). The bug fixes for Java 8 Version 201 are available here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n

Attention: If you use the JAVA-Updater or the Online-Installer, please make sure that no Adware is installed. Therefore I use the Offline-Installer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Question whether Java should be uninstalled<\/h2>\n

During writing this text, blog reader Thomas B. send me the following information by mail:<\/p>\n

\n

today I noticed … with my two devices, which I use as a media center, that a message came up during an upcoming Java update, that Java has not been used for more than six months and if I want to uninstall it. I didn't trigger that now, because who knows what will happen if I want to reinstall it because of the changed license conditions for Java …. ;-)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Also the colleague at deskmodder.de mentions<\/a> something like this here. I don't get this message because I occasionally start the Android Debug Monitor (ADB).  <\/p>\n

Oracle requires a license for companies, Amazon's solution<\/h2>\n

It already mention it above: Oracle forced companies to obtain a corporate license for commercial environments to get updates. And by the end of 2020, Java 8 updates will reaching end of life. A long time ago I had the article Oracle: Have you to pay a Fee for Java SE from 2019 onward? on the subject.  <\/p>\n

Blog reader Martin Feuerstein had already pointed out to me in mid-November 2018 that Amazon wanted to offer a Java 8 runtime environment for free (had already read that within the web). Martin wrote: <\/p>\n

\n

Amazon wants to offer a Java 8 runtime replacement with 5 years for free (still preview, productive from January), until April 2019 also a Java 11 runtime replacement should be available.  <\/p>\n

An MSI package is available for Windows. After the installation java.exe -version reports as 64-bit version. The installer does not (yet) register any environment variable\/path.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The project is called Amazon Corretto<\/a> and will be available for Amazon Linux 2, Windows and macOS for free. The downloads are available at this Amazon site<\/a> (currently as previews for Windows).   <\/p>\n

Other Oracle products have also received security updates (see this advisory<\/a>). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
