Just make sure that if you are using Java at work, you are complying with the licence and using the appropriate version.
#JAVA SE DEVELOPMENT KIT 11 DOWNLOADS SOFTWARE#
If you are using Java for personal use, such as learning Java or developing software for personal use at home, then the new license rules still allow you to use Oracle Java. But if you are already using some of Oracles paid products in your organisation, such as Solaris OS or Oracle DB, check as you may get a license for Java included with those. OpenJDK is still a robust version of Java, but unlike the Oracle version it doesn’t come with commercial support. If you dont have the option to purchase a licence then you will need to use OpenJDK version of Java. Now to use java in a commercial setting (for example, if you are working in a company, government body or organisation of any kind) then you will need an Oracle license to use Oracle Java. One thing to note here is that the Java licensing has changed since April 2019. This will take you to the Java SE Development Kit 12 Downloads page. Navigate to and scroll down till you get to the Java SE 11 Section.

The steps below show you how to download and install Java JDK 11 on Windows. But as upgrading existing software isnt always an easy task as it can require extensive testing, its good to know that is under your control, and that the version you are running will be available and supported for years to come. New releases of Java often include the latest features, and performance improvements.
#JAVA SE DEVELOPMENT KIT 11 DOWNLOADS UPGRADE#
If I am writing software for my company, or im implementing a software package that relies on Java, its good to know that the LTS version will have continous support for 5 – 10 years from release, as it allows me plenty of time to plan the next upgrade if necessary. This helps people developing in a commercial setting as they know that if they choose an LTS release that they will be able to rely on the support for that release, so helps with future planning. LTS stands for long term support, and basically this means that the release will be supported with updates and fixes for a considerable number of years. Similar to Java 8, Java 11 is an LTS release. Oracle's " Java SE Development Kit 11 Downloads" page highlights (in orange-ish background and with emphasized title " Important changes in Oracle JDK 11 License") the "substantially different" Oracle Technology Network License Agreement that now applies to Oracle Java SE and provides a link to "this software under the GPL License on /11" (Oracle's OpenJDK builds).The latest release for Java SE 11 is Java SE 11.0.4. An interesting read along these lines for those who do not intend to purchase commercial support for Oracle JDK implementations is " The future of Java and OpenJDK updates without Oracle support." Other recent posts that are probably worth reading in light of JDK 11's release are " Oracle JDK Releases for Java 11 and Later," " Java Is Still Free," and " Introducing Java SE 11."

JDK 11 is significant for several reasons, none at least of which is its status as the basis for Oracle's LTS offering and the likelihood of this being the version of Java shops will move to if they are currently using Java 8. We've identified no P1 bugs since we promoted build 28 over four weeks ago, so that’s the official GA release, ready for production use. JDK 11, the reference implementation of Java 11 and the first long-term support release produced under the six-month rapid-cadence release model, is now Generally Available. In the message " Java 11 / JDK 11: General Availability," Mark Reinhold writes: The " JDK 11 GA Release" page also provides links to the detailed JDK 11 Release Notes, the features (JEPs) associated with JDK 11, the Java SE/JDK Version 11 API Specification (Javadoc), and the Java SE 11 Tools and Command Reference. The " JDK 11 General-Availability Release" page provides "production-ready open-source builds of the Java Development Kit, version 11, an implementation of the Java SE 11 Platform under the GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception." That same JDK 11 GA Release page also points to "commercial builds of JDK 11 from Oracle under a non-open-source license" that are "available for a wider range of platforms" and which "can be found at the Oracle Help Center." Earlier this week, Iris Clark announced the " JSR 384 (Java SE 11) Final Release," and in that same message, he referenced the final release version of JSR 384, the " Java SE 11 (18.9) Platform JSR (384)" specification page, and concluded, "The 384 EG is now disbanded."

As scheduled, it was announced today that JDK 11 was released for General Availability.
