JRE Expiration Date
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u202) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for April 16, 2019.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u202) on May 16, 2019. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see 23.1.2 JRE Expiration Date in the Java Platform, Standard Edition Deployment Guide.
Known Issues
client-libs
GTK+ 3.20 and Later Unsupported by Swing
Due to incompatible changes in the GTK+ 3 library versions 3.20 and later, the Swing GTK Look and Feel does not render some UI components when using this library. Therefore, Linux installations with versions of GTK+ 3.20 and above are not supported for use by the Swing GTK Look And Feel in this release.
See JDK-8219072
Bug Fixes
The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:
deploy/webstart
Changes in Update Process of Java Web Start Cached Objects
The update mechanism of cached Java Web Start objects has been slightly changed. Now Java Web Start issues HTTP HEAD request instead of GET to test whether the updates for cached object are available or not. The downloading of the updates did not change and keeps working in the same way as before.
JDK-8211746 (not public)
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update.
