Important info regarding Java 8 support in Connections

IBM Support newsletter sent out information about end of support on Java 6 on Connections 5.5.

This does not mean it will stop working, hehe, but there will be limited fixes for Java 6 runtime version.

End of April 2018 is the cut off time, but there will be extended support from Oracle until December 2018.

So, the recommendation is to upgrade to Connections 6, basically, where java8 is supported.
