Product Java Dependencies Overview

Since January 2019, Oracle Java SE 8 public updates will not be available for “business, commercial or production use” without a commercial license.

Oracle’s new Java subscription price list replaces previously available licenses and now provides a combined license and support subscription.

This enables commercial customers to gain access to continued support of Java beyond January 2019 as well as critical security patches.

Please find more details here:


We have checked our portfolio to establish where Oracle Java SE is being used either on the desktop/client side and/or on the server side.

Please find below the Product Java Dependencies Overview outlining for all Atos Unify portfolio elements whether they are affected or not.

Note: Our R&D departments have worked on the further product planning for each affected product - to come up with a timeline/release planning outlining when there will no longer be the need to use Oracle Java. Such a roadmap statement is already included for most of the products in the overview document, for others this will be delivered in addition, as an update here in the Experts Wiki space.

Outlook: The Product Java Dependencies Overview will be updated every quarter – to outline the latest status and especially to confirm when a new version has been released without the need to use Java from Oracle.


Update on Java Licensing from Oracle in Q4/2021

Starting with Java 17, Oracle has changed the license conditions for its own Java variant again. See more details at:

It is now available under the “Oracle No-Fee Terms and Conditions (NFTC) License Agreement”. See more details at:

However, this change does not have any direct impact on the Atos Unify Product Portfolio, since it applies only to Java 17 and later. That is, none of our products are currently requiring any of the new functionality provided only with version 17 – and – most of our products still rely on Java 8 functionality.
