Question: I had a friend who has a client ask him this: The have a CF11 instance and the have a question about updating their Java on that machine. From the Customer: "_When trying to locate the jdk’s from Oracle’s website, they are only offering up to Version 8 update 321, and Version 11 update 14. Do you happen to have an idea on how best to proceed here in getting our Java versions updated to a secure instance? Do I need to reach out to Adobe specifically on this_?" I have never used CF11 and I know its old is there an option for CF11 to use some of the later Java libraries or is the best suggestion for them to update to a newer CF version?

@malllory.woods They should update it to use the latest Java 8 builds.
Also, I'm a little confused when they mean when they say
they are only offering up to Version 8 update 321
What do they mean by "only"? Are they asking about a later version of java 8?
Adobe usually updates their download page a while after versions come out. 8 update 321 isn't that old for starters
But if they really really want the bleeding edge 8 builds, they can just get them from Oracle

I think they are asking we saw support up to update 321.
b
Adobe usually only links to the versions they've specifically updated
m
Of course this means they will have to pay for those right?
b
no

So that is what I thought, that there were only specific versions that Adobe has "blessed"
b
An Adobe CF license covers the Oracle java license
👍 1
But that is largely moot so far as I know since Oracle walked back their licensing changes
but really, their focus on java is a waste of their time. They should be much much MUCH MUCH more concerned about the crazy old version of CF they're on

It poses far more of a security threat than a few java updaters behind IMO

100% agreed!
Thanks @bdw429s!!
