" summary

Explains that Java moves to a six‑month release cadence with Java 11 LTS after 9, recommends testing every feature release even if deployments wait for LTS, and notes jlink custom runtime as a reason to adopt fast releases. Describes deprecation now occurring between non‑LTS releases, warns that removal can happen before the next LTS, and clarifies support: OpenJDK is upstream, paid support (Oracle, Red Hat, others) provides longer maintenance. Lists that IDEs, build tools, JUnit/TestNG and Spring already report Java 9 compatibility.
