Hi there, We’re using Greenfoot at a highschool and it’s distributed through the network. I’ve heard that from 2022, java will be no longer delevoped.. So will there be a moment in the near future when using Greenfoot will no longer be safe because of java security issues? I’ve read https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html but I’m unsure what consequences that has for using Greenfoot. Any information on this is welcom, thanks in advance.

Don't worry, java will still be developed, and for a long time, the only thing that won't be developed anymore is Java SE 8. While Greenfoot works (I believe) with java 8, there are many possibilities : 1. Greenfoot will switch to a newer java version 2. Greenfoot won't switch, but it won't affect us, because extended security updates will still happen til 2030
