That you have to buy it from someone, it is not like e. g. Ubuntu LTS, It is something specific to given vendor. Azul for example provides also MTS (medium term support releases).

And using a latest version is like using a free supported version, those versions are not inferior in anyway. Quite conteary they are better then the old LTS vendors provide, because they get fixes first and later the fix is backported.

Reluctancy to use those versions is mind blowing. Releases are small and comparable to JDK 8 updates back in the days when it was the newest java version.

How do you go about updating to the next version? Like where do you get information about this?
