        Problem are old Web Pages that still will need Java Plug-ins.

        I'll take years to say "Goodbye"

          That may be so, but we can laugh maniacally in the mean time 😉

              All this means is that it won't be patched any more. Sadly lots of things still need it. The OpenJDK will likely continue to offer this for a long time.

              At least this might slow the creation of new Java based stuff.

                Ugghh... I have so many IBM management pages that require the Java plugin. This is probably never going to go away here.

                  IBM! That must be some ancient stuff. They've not made anything for the SMB for a while 😉

                      Which really... should have been all the warning that people needed about choosing that product 😉

                        Sorry... IBM branded I'm pretty sure it is Lenovo made.

                            Sadly, a lot of our management software that is above my paygrade still requires the JRE 1.6.06! It absolutely refuses to work with anything even a point upgrade newer!

                                I've had some sort of Java installed locally for a long time, and probably a long time to come (Crashplan anyone?) Good riddance to the web browser plugins tho!

                                  How does a company release stuff like this? This is as bad as the places that require IE 7 for their applications.

                                    This is what I'd like to know too... Or more importantly why folks continue to use these apps! I got word through the grapevine that we're switching to another product this summer.

                                      They release it because they have customers for it. It's the customers who drive the market. Why are people buying it, is the question.

                                        Right, but then they don't update it? How can you have enough resources to create an application and then not enough to update it with the platform it's built on?

                                          Why waste money updating something if your customers don't leave you anyway? That's not good business.
