Unsupported Oracle's Java SE 6 and 7 Puts Security at Risk

Oracle ended commercial support for Java SE 6 in 2018, and Java SE 7 reached its end of life in July 2022. Running outdated Oracle Java versions in production poses significant risks. However, these can be effectively mitigated by switching to BellSoft's Liberica JDK 6 or 7.

BellSoft’s support for legacy versions of Java helps avoid the costs and business disruptions tied to immediate upgrades. This gives you the flexibility to choose when to migrate to a newer version, all while ensuring your infrastructure remains secure and reliable.
