Oracle has announced the last public release of JDK 7 to be delivered on April 2015.
This means that any security and bug fixes won't be available for public download but for Oracle customers only. You can, of course, download JDK 7 always, but the version you download after April 2015 won't have any new security or bug fixes.
If you have applications developed with JDK 7 you can:
- Buy a commercial support of Java SE to become an Oracle customer. You will keep getting updates of JDK 7 and several other benefits.
- Migrate to Java SE 8 and keep getting public updates of JDK 8 until 2017
- Do nothing... Your applications will continue to work as they do today (if run on JDK 7), but of course, there are security and performance risks.

See ya!
