Either way, this cask would have to reference a distribution which is public and authorized for distribution by a third party.

Brew cask how to check available versions code#

I wouldn't believe that the majority of the code being migrated to 11 is incompatible. But, it didn't take knowing the language to understand that once EOL for those distributions commercially and their open source counterpart aren't supporting versions older than 11, then your user base of testers, users, and other developers will probably decline. Granted, I knew very little about java in comparison to them.

I've had a couple of developers in other projects scoff at me this past year about migrating to support of newer versions. However, OpenJDK has stated that they would only provide support to include patches for 11+. Any other non-subscribers were referenced to OpenJDK. Oracle had forewarned that all of the older versions were EOL by the coming year and that 11+ were for subscribers. OpenJDK is not patching versions prior to 11. I believe they're pushing for those non-subscribers to use OpenJDK, which the community support for that distribution is limited to the latest release cycles back to LT 11. You have to accept a personal licensing agreement which requires a personally created account. However, now the Oracle distributions are commercial and for subscribers with support. They moved to shorter cycles beginning with 9 and the LT release is 11. Oracle is pushing to deprecate older versions of Java SE with EOL for 8 in the coming year. I believe it would be an unauthorized distribution.
