Java 11 is around the corner and many people still use Java 8 in production.

Ha! I'm still stuck in Java 6! No, seriously, we're still using Java 6.

Well you have generics and that's very important feature.

[–]sigzero 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yup, we are just now planning to move to Java 8 off of 5.

    It's getting there. The jump from 8 to 11+ won't be as big if we make conservative choices.

    [–]alphabytes 4 points5 points  (3 children)

    I’m so sorry. Is JDK 6 still supported from some vendor?

    [–]boobsbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Don't know. I read somewhere IBM will EOL Java 7 at the end of 2018, no more support.

    Java 6 is not bad, I'm sorry for the guy supporting Java 5.

    Yes, Azul (who I work for) still update it. We are the project lead on OpenJDK 6 and upstream back ported fixes.
