<@U01EY27APNH> When will 2018 officially be considered end of life/out of support?

All of the various support end dates for CF and other products are on the Adobe EOL matrix here: <https://helpx.adobe.com/support/programs/eol-matrix.html|https://helpx.adobe.com/support/programs/eol-matrix.html>

thanks.. for those who don't like clicking links and scrolling:
*End of core support:* 7/13/2023
*End of extended support:* 7/13/2024

Translation... go upgrade within the next year

If hotfixes for cf 2018 stop after July 2023, I wouldn't want to be running it much past then, if at all.

...which just to say it, ouch, that's soon.

I'm still over here like "huh but 2018 was like a couple years ago" and then the math gut punches me.

do hotfixes stop in July 2023 with the end of core support, or with the end of extended support in 2024?

Don't know about Adobe specifically, but the phrase "extended support" typically means "paid support".

<@U01EY27APNH> Can you get us a definitive statement about when hotifxes/security updates stop for CF 2018?

<@U01EY27APNH>, or anyone, I'm used to getting CF Java downloads from the third-party section of the Adobe ColdFusion downloads page, here: <https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#third_party>

That page has apparently moved, at least it's redirecting to the CF 2023 downloads page, which doesn't have third party stuff, including Java, far as I can see.

Where are we supposed to get Java updates for CF (2018, 2021, and eventually 2023)?

Currently available Java downloads are here I think: <https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#downloads3>
