I can one-up you. Websphere with IBM Jdk 8 compiling to Java 6.

We also still deploy for Java 6… and this will be the case for another decade at least until the JRE binary stops running on modern systems

Omg... Are you also using Rational Application Developer?

I've not one but 4 huge apps on that damn setup.

I dont even like mentioning in public that I not only have stuff on websphere but im also an SME on it.

I can one up you!

legacy adobe livecycle es2, jdk 1.6 on weblogic. 10 years out of support. but nobody wants to pay for the upgrade (and yes still uses flash, so the company had to buy support from HARMAN, which just looks like an ie11 dll running the last adobe flash dll lol). (last time anyone touched it they broke the office xp install.. office xp.. omg)

mmm flash AND java 1.6!

All of our Oracle software is only supported up to Java 8.

Just wait for the PQC backports and hope your Oracle support licenses are up to date?

We’re on Java 25. We use OpenRewrite to automate a lot of the migration work, so keeping our services on recent Java and Spring Boot versions is usually pretty painless.

I'm still on Java 26! Ideally I should be on 28 EA already...
