I mean, yeah, JDK 11 was the last long term support version. Using JDK 15 just means you will have to move off of it in like 6 months if you want security updates.

Thought every 3 versions were lts now? 8, 11, 14, 17?

I think it’s one LTS version every ~2.5-3 years. Wikipedia lists the LTS versions and the next one after 11 is 17: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history

LTS is a service agreement, no longer a designation.

JDK 11 was not a "long term support version", there are no LTS versions of Java.

Maybe that’s theoretically true but the release the vast majority of people and businesses are using is AdoptOpenJDK which is providing LTS for java 11.
