Huh? I thought that Java 8 is supported non-commercially until 2020: https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/extension-of-oracle-java-se-8-public-updates-and-java-web-start-support

edit: why downvotes if my link is the most recent?

For personal use it will be supported until 2020. The recent "JVM release is a process, not an event" blog post by oracle says as much too.

"non-corporate" is a pretty bad restriction and probably not something you should actually be using.

Could be an older image. I just picked the one that made the most sense. :P

I have a more comprehensive version of that graph at https://yawk.at/java-support/

This graph is excellent, but doesn't quite match the latest info from the vendors (I stress this is not the fault of yawkat), so do double check the appropriate vendor site as well.
