When will Java 7 users be notified to upgrade to Java 8?

Now that Java 8 is GA there will be a period of time that it will be available for download and installed on request but Java 7 will still be the primary Java version. Java 7 users will still receive updates to Java 7. Is there a scheduled date when Java 7 will be automatically upgraded to Java 8?

you won't be, period.
Java 7 will be supported (depending on your support contract) until at least 2022 for some users.
By which time there will be a Java 9 or 10, maybe 11.
And tbh many people aren't going to want to deal with Java 8 at all. There's still people (a lot of people) writing code to Java 1.4, albeit mostly now being compiled on 1.5 or 6 compilers. And that's not going to change any time soon, especially as the language has pretty much changed to something that's utterly incompatible with existing code.

  • When will Captivate 6 users with upgrade purchased be sent Captivate V7 for installation?

    We purchased Captivate 6  in January 2013 with the 2 year maintenance/upgrade plan so that any new releases within 2 years would be included. Since V7 has been released within the 2 year period, when will Adobe contact us for our upgrade to 7?
    I was told to be patient and that Adobe would email the customers with information (typically within 2-4 weeks from the release). However, it has been more than 2-4 weeks.
    Has anyone upgraded with a maintenance plan yet?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums
    Please share you contact information on [email protected] and we will contact you.

  • When will Java SE 7 be released?

    As a newbie Java programmer, I'm getting my hands on the basics of Java SE 5 & 6 at this point, but I wonder when would be the exact date for the release of the Java SE 7. I have searched through this forum for the release info. without success. Could anyone who knows tell me?
    ps. I gotta re-schedule my study plan if the release date is close by, so that I can catch up with the latest APIs, and stuff...
    Thanks!

  • When will Java SE 7 Programmer II be available?

    Dear all,
    Does anybody has information about the date?
    I successfully took the Programmer I exam this week and I fell ready to take the second exam now. What about beta exams? Do they have the same "value" as a released exam? Any pro or cons?
    Best regards.

    From the Oracle Certification Program page at: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=182
    Scoring a Beta Exam
    * You will only be scored on the questions that are chosen for the final exam.
    * Since you are graded only on the questions selected for the production version of the certification exam, it may take up to 10 weeks after the close of the beta period to receive your exam results from Pearson VUE.
    * Passing a beta exam is the same as passing a production exam. For example, if you were to pass all the beta versions of the exams required within an Oracle Certification path, you will earn your Oracle Certification credential and receive the certificate in the mail.
    It also says at the top of the page that there will be about 175 - 220 questions (those that will be finally chosen + beta questions that may not be chosen, but you will be scored only on the questions that get chosen for production). Also, you will get more time for the higher number of questions - about 3 to 3.5 hours.
    Hope this helps...

  • When will you let users add the missing e for this version of firefox? I don't want to use firefox anymore now.

    The missing e has been "incompatible" with this version of firefox for at least a year. This is annoying. Which browser should I use?

    I don't think it's being developed anymore since the last blog post was a year ago about the time you said it stopped being incompatible
    *http://blog.missing-e.com/
    There's another extension another user recommended which was XKit
    *http://xkit.info/seven/download/
    My browser is unsupported since I'm running Nightly 34.0a1 (very early build of Firefox) but the latest Firefox 31.0 should be working.

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • ITunes keeps shutting down when I open it up.  The message says iTunes has stopped working.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

    iTunes keeps shutting down when I open it up.  The message says iTunes has stopped working.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

    Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi.  How do I get iTunes to work again?

    Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message:  A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
