I’m looking for information about what will happen with the coming version of Java next April.
Oracle announced that businesses will have to buy licence to use Java.
Eclipse based softwares use a variant of Java, including Capella 1.3.0, the question is which one. I have understood that there are now many (not only JRE and JDK), Oracle announces audits, Java continues to install full software and user should know what should be removed.
What I guess is Capella will continue for a while to use version 8 (keeps being free), but what about dropins and any other kind of add-on, new ones in particular?
Thanks for your information

Today I’m using mainly Capella 1.3.0 (one application in 1.1.3) with view points, subsystem transition, html generator, and trying to being started with M2Doc.
OS is Windows 10, or windows 7

today, i get this message no on my OS 10.12.6 that propose security upgrade too (macos and java free)

Bug Fixes
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory.
For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 8u201 Bug Fixes page.
Java 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 8u201) 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 8u201) on May 16, 2019. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), Java will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version.
