kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo Oracle wakhupha iindaba ukuba ukuyeka ngokusemthethweni inkxaso eyandisiweyo yeqonga IJava 7, phantse i-11 leminyaka ubudala inguqulelo yeJava eqhelekileyo, ukuphela kwenkxaso kwakusekupheleni kukaJulayi ka-2022.
Ngokuyekiswa kweNkxaso eYandisiweyo eseMthethweni, IJava 7 iya kwimowudi yeNkxaso eqhubekayo kuphela, njengoko kuchazwa nguMgaqo-nkqubo weNkxaso woBomi be-Oracle. Alukho olunye uhlaziyo lwesiqwenga, ukulungiswa kwebug, ukulungiswa kokhuseleko, okanye ukuphunyezwa kweempawu eziya kunikezelwa, kwaye kuya kufumaneka kuphela inkxaso encinci.
Ikhutshwe nge-28 kaJulayi, i-2011, i-Java 7 yayiyeyokuqala enkulu yokukhululwa yeJava ngaphezulu kweminyaka emihlanu Eyokuqala yayiphantsi kolawulo lweOracle emva kokufunyanwa kwe-Oracle yomsunguli weJava iSun Microsystems ngo-2010.
Ukuphela kwenkxaso eyandisiweyo kuthetha ukuba ezinye iinguqulelo ezindala ze-Oracle Fusion kunye neemveliso ze-middleware azisayi kuba neKit yoPhuhliso lweJava eqinisekisiweyo ekhoyo. Abathengi abaxhaswayo abasebenzisa iJava Standard Edition (SE) 7 bakhuthazwa ukuba baphucule kwinguqu exhaswayo yeJava Standard, njengeJava SE versions 8 okanye 11, ngokwengxelo yenkxaso ye-Oracle yokugqibela ihlaziywa ngoJulayi 22. .
Kuphononongo lwe-ecosystem yeJava epapashwe ngo-Epreli ngumcebisi wesicelo iNew Relic, inkampani uthe malunga ne-2% yezicelo zisasebenzisa iJava 7 kwimveliso. Uninzi lweeapps ezisebenzisa iJava 7 okanye iJava 6 ibiziinkqubo zelifa ezingazange zihlaziywe, ngokutsho kweNew Relic.
Ngokophononongo olufanayo, ngo-2020 uninzi lwezicelo zahlala kwiJava 8 (84,48%). nangona iJava 11 ibikhona ngaphezulu konyaka. Ukusukela ngoko, ibhalansi itshintshile phakathi kwezi zimbini zikhutshwayo zeLTS. Ngaphezulu kwe-48% yezicelo ngoku zisebenzisa iJava 11 kwimveliso (isuka kwi-11,11% ngo-2020), ilandelwa ngokusondeleyo yiJava 8, ebamba i-46,45% yezicelo zisebenzisa inguqulelo kwimveliso. IJava 17 ayizange iphakame iitshathi, kodwa kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ukususela ekukhululweni kwayo, sele idlulile iJava 6, iJava 10, kunye neJava 16.
Ngaloo nto I-Oracle icebisa ukuba abasebenzisi baphucule ukuya kubuncinci inguqulo yesi-8 okanye uphucule kuguqulelo olutsha oluxhaswayo lweJava SE. Inkampani okwangoku ibonelela ngenkxaso yeJava SE 8 kunye neJava SE 11. Abasebenzisi abaphucula kwezi nguqulelo baya kufumana inkxaso epheleleyo yemeko yabo yeJava yokusebenza:
“Inkxaso yoluntu iya kuphela xa iJava 7 ifikelela esiphelweni senkonzo ngoJulayi 29, 2022. Zonke izicelo ezisebenza kwiJava 7 ziya kuqhubeka zisebenza, kodwa iJava 7 ayiyi kufumana ukuhlaziywa okanye iipatches zokhuseleko. Ukunciphisa imingcipheko kunye nobuthathaka bokhuseleko obunokwenzeka, phucula usetyenziso lwakho kwiJava 8 okanye kwiJava 11 ngokusekwe kwiimfuno zakho zomthwalo.
“Isikhokelo esilandelwayo siSikhokelo sokuFudukela se-Oracle JDK. Isikhokelo sokufuduka sisombulula konke ukungahambelani kwenkcazo yeJava kunye nokungahambelani kokuphunyezwa kwe-JDK. Uninzi lwezi zinto zingahambelaniyo ziimeko ezigqithisileyo. Kufuneka uphande xa kukho isilumkiso okanye impazamo.
Uninzi lwezicelo kufuneka zisebenze kwiJava 8 ngaphandle kokuguqulwa. Into yokuqala yokuzama kukuqhuba isicelo sakho kwiJava 8 ngaphandle kokubuyisela ikhowudi. Injongo yokubaleka okulula kukubona ukuba zeziphi izilumkiso kunye neempazamo ezivela ekubalekeni. Le ndlela ivumela usetyenziso ukuba lubaleke ngokukhawuleza kwiJava 8 ngomlinganiselo omncinci womzamo.
Kuphela inguqu yamva nje yeJava, inguqulo ye-18, kulindeleke ukuba ibe nenkxaso ephezulu kunye nokuhlaziywa kwesoftware ebalulekileyo kunye nenkonzo ye-24/7 kude kube ngoSeptemba. I-predecessor ye-Java 17 imiselwe iminyaka emininzi yenkxaso yeNkulumbuso njengenkxaso yenkxaso yexesha elide. I-Oracle ipapashe isicwangciso sendlela yenkxaso yeenguqu ezahlukeneyo zeJava eqhelekileyo. Inguqulelo elandelayo yeLTS yeJava iya kuba yiJava 21, ecwangciselwe uSeptemba 2023.
Gqibela ukuba unomdla wokwazi okungakumbi ngayo malunga nenqaku, ungajonga iinkcukacha kwi ukulandela ikhonkco.
