(Note that prior to Java 9, releases of Java were known technically as 1.x, so 8 is referred to in resources below as 1.8.)https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/17/java_updates_Jan_2023 ICYMI and CLARIFICATION: Beware that latest Oracle JDK installers will REMOVE older JDK installs of that versionHere's something new to beware if you may run the Oracle JDK installer for the recently updated Java 11 or 17, whether on Windows, macOS, or via RPM: the new Oracle jdk installer WILL REMOVE any older previous versions of that JVM version created by previous JDK installers of the same major version. (Note that this issue does not affect those who implement java by extracting it from a compressed file, like a zip or tar.gz.)Fortunately for some, this issue does NOT affect those running Java 8 or below, or Java 19 or abovehttps://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/23/beware_latest_oracle_JDK_installers_will_remove_older_JDK_installs Clarification from Charlie regarding the Podcast discussion of this post last week: Brad said that this behavior is “not new”, and I have to say: that’s not correct. As the post goes on to clarify, this change IS documented in last week’s release notes for the Oracle JVM. I’ve updated my post with this new paragraph at the top to clarify that point:Since I posted this last night, I've heard some people assert "this is not new behavior: Java's always popped up and offered to remove old versions". Those folks are misunderstanding something: that was true of past JRE installers (like in Java 8 and earlier, which don't exist for Java 11), but it was never the case for Oracle JDK installers (even for Java 8). THAT's what's new about the JDK 11 and 17 installers, and it's DOCUMENTED in the release notes, as I discuss below. But it may surprise those who never saw a JDK installer do that, thus this post. (The rest of this post remains unchanged.)Thanks Charlie for Clarifiying!ICYMI - CBWire Poll about a CFCasts SeriesI’m in the planning stage of developing an ongoing video series for CBWIRE on https://cfcasts.com/. I have several ideas and would like to put it out to the community to vote what you’d like to see most. All series would feature 5-7 minute bit-sized videos posted regularly (probably weekly) until the series is finished.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/poll-cbwire-cfcasts-com-series/9513 New Releases and UpdatesICYMI - CBSecurity - V 3.0.0 This module will enhance your ColdBox applications by providing out-of-the-box security.Now with a cool Security Visualizer too!!!Change Log is packed - https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbsecurity#changeLog https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbsecurityWebinar / Meetups and WorkshopsOrtus Event Calendar for Googlehttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y181NjJhMWVmNjFjNGIxZTJlNmQ4OGVkNzg0NTcyOGQ1Njg5N2RkNGJiNjhjMTQwZjc3Mzc2ODk1MmIyOTQyMWVkQGdyb3VwLmNhbGVuZGFyLmdvb2dsZS5jb20 Ortus Fridays are back in Full Effect in 2023ICYMI - Ortus Webinar - Jan 20th 2023 - CBWIRE Coding Session - Let’s build an app with CBWIRE with Grant Copley - 11 AM CST https://cfcasts.com/series/ortus-webinars-2023/videos/cbwire-live-coding-session-with-grant-copley Ortus Office Hours - Feb 3rd, 2023 - 11 AM CSTRegistrationhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvcO-hrz8iHNS0C3o0aw2x3JMtmBrKwzfA Software Craftsmanship Book Club -...
