Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap

The JDK will stop trusting TLS Server certificates issued by Symantec, in line with similar plans recently announced by Google, Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft. The list of affected certificates includes certificates branded as GeoTrust, Thawte, and VeriSign, which were managed by Symantec. If the option is explicitly set to «false», the provider decides which implementation of ECC is used. For .exe programs, embedded double quotes are allowed and are encoded so they are passed to Windows as literal quotes. The restrictions are enforced if there is a security manager and the jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands property is «false» or there is no security manager and property is not «false».

• The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u91 BPR releases.
• In addition to the language changes, other changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5.
• In some applications, it may be desirable to disable all caching for the HTTP SPNEGO (Negotiate/Kerberos) protocol in order to force requesting new authentication with each new request to the server.
• To improve the strength of SSL/TLS connections, 3DES cipher suites have been disabled in SSL/TLS connections in the JDK via the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms Security Property.

Since January 2018 (8u161, 7u171) unlimited Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Jurisdiction Policy files have been bundled with the JDK and enabled by default (see JDK Cryptographic Roadmap). (1) No public JRE installation GUI is offered during the JDK install. This removes the user’s ability during the JDK installation to specify a custom directory in the GUI for the public JRE. If a directory other than the default is desired, use the /INSTALLDIRPUBJRE command-line option to set an installation path for the JRE. Users can also deselect the public JRE during the JDK installation and install it separately. In HotSpot error logs, the OS is identified as Windows 10.0 for Windows Server releases 2016, 2019, and 2022; however, the HotSpot error log does show the Build number.

Details

The JavaFX version included with the Mac and Linux bundles is incorrectly labeled as JavaFX 2.2.1-ea-b02. This JavaFX release, although labeled as “ea”, is a fully supported GA release. A static field representing a singleton instance of the REIWA era in java.time.chrono.JapaneseEra is added as a private field in this update. The singleton instance is not directly accessible, instead it can be obtained by calling JapaneseEra.of(3) and JapaneseEra.valueOf(«Reiwa”). If you don’t have an oracle.com account you can use the links on the top of this page to learn more about it and register for one for free.

In order to determine if a release is the latest, the Security Baseline page can be used to determine which is the latest version for each release family. Please note that fixes from the previous BPR are included in this version. Please note that fixes from the previous BPR (7u291 b32) are included in this version.

221 Update Release Notes

The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u91 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u95 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u97 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u72 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u101 BPR releases.

The full version string for this update release is 7u351-b07 (where «b» means «build»). This system property takes an integer value and can be configured https://remotemode.net/become-a-java-developer-se-7/ to be a positive integer. If the property is absent, set to 0, or a negative value, the server will not limit the number of open connections.

79 Update Release Notes

This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 7u131 Bug Fixes page. At their own risk, applications can update this restriction in the security property (jdk.tls.legacyAlgorithms) if 3DES cipher suites are really preferred.

The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u181 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u191 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u201 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u211 BPR releases.

Java SE 7 Features and Enhancements from JDK 7 Release Notes

The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_221-b08 (where «b» means «build»). The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_231-b08 (where «b» means «build»). The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_241-b08 (where «b» means «build»). A new system property named jdk.security.allowNonCaAnchor has been introduced to restore the previous behavior, if necessary. If the property is set to the empty String or «true» (case-insensitive), trust anchor certificates can be used if they do not have proper CA extensions. New checks have been added to ensure that trust anchors are CA certificates and contain proper extensions.

For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 7u261) on August 14, 2020. For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 7u271) on November 17, 2020. For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 7u281) on February 19, 2021. New JCE provider code signing certificates issued from this CA will be used to sign JCE providers at a date in the near future. By default, new requests for JCE provider code signing certificates will be issued from this CA. Existing certificates from the current JCE provider code signing root will continue to validate.
