Do I need to pay for Java now? – Info Java

Disclaimer: I work on the Spring team at Pivotal

I’m surprised to see the perception that Spring has been adapting slowly to new JDKs.

Spring Framework officially supported Java 8 in 4.0.3 which was released on 27 March 2014. That was 9 days after Java 8’s GA.

Similarly, Java 9 was supported in Framework 5.0.0 which was released on 28 September 2017, 7 days after Java 9’s GA.

Java 10 is already supported in a similar fashion and we also expect support for Java 11 to follow this pattern.
