Java Support Over for Windows XP
 

Another nail in the coffin lid for Windows XP. The next update for Java in July will no longer have any fixes for XP. There will be no formal announcement, just Oracle quietly dropping support for XP. As you know, Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP and recommend their users to upgrade to more recent versions in order to maintain a stable and secure environment.
