| Didn't Oracle drop support for Java 8 like six years ago? I'm sure there are plenty of companies still running it, but even Apple (a relatively conservative company in this regard) updated to Java 11 when I was there in ~2019. |

| It used to but Oracle‘s licensing and probably more important security guidelines from the very top linking CVE scores to mandatory updates got things moving on the last years. |

| this isn't really the case. a lot of legacy code may still be running the version it was developed against, but java 17+ has a sizable share of the ecosystem now that all of the popular libraries require it. spring for example bumped their baseline to jdk 17 in 2022. |

Spring offers enterprise support for Spring framework 5 which still supports Java 8. But organizations still using Java 8 will most likely use some kind of Java Enterprise application server with vendor support. IBM will support Websphere with Java 8 until at least 2030 and maybe longer if customers keep paying. I'd guess Oracle has a similar policy. |

| Nope, we are on Java 25 |
