We have some positive news to share with you!

Support and distribution of Oracle Java SE, including all maintenance updates of Long-Term Support (LTS) releases (Oracle Java SE 8 and Oracle Java SE 11), will be supported by Adobe directly for all ColdFusion customers making use of the Oracle Java technology. All customers will need to abide by Oracle’s terms of use as they have previously. The support covers the use of all Oracle Java SE releases, current and future, for ColdFusion customers to run their ColdFusion applications. This includes the Oracle Java SE 8 JDK and Oracle Java SE 11 JDK releases. ColdFusion customers can continue operating their ColdFusion applications with the existing Oracle Java SE JDK, with the extra benefit of being supported even when the Oracle Java SE JDK reaches the end of the public updates, for instance in January 2019 for the Oracle Java SE 8 JDK. Customer shall be supported on Oracle Java SE without having to contract for support directly with Oracle in order to run ColdFusion. Support for Java will be provided in terms of redistribution and supports agreement with Oracle in relation to ColdFusion. Adobe shall keep you posted on any change in its support terms with Oracle that may impact customer.

While we understand that there are alternatives to Oracle Java, including OpenJDK, we have currently decided to stick with Oracle Java.

ColdFusion Customers may contact the Adobe customer care organization for all issues about their ColdFusion applications, including the underlying Oracle Java SE software.

Before the end of February, as a part of our upcoming update, Java 11 will be supported on both ColdFusion (2016 release) and ColdFusion (2018 release). ColdFusion 11 will not have the Java 11 support.

Hello, We are currently using ColdFusion 2016 and need to update Java to Version 8 Update 261. We receive errors with cfpdfformparam when populating fields. We’ve been told there is a fix for JAVA JRE for this issue. Can someone direct me to this information?

Thank you!
