Oracle has announced that its future updates to Java 7 will work on XP.
Henrik Stahl, vice-president of product management, said: “We expect all versions of Java that were supported prior to the Microsoft de-support announcement to continue to work on Windows XP for the foreseeable future.”
“Security updates issued by Oracle will continue to be pushed out to Windows XP desktops,” he said.
A Java 7 security update will be release on Tuesday that addresses 20 security issues that can be exploited remotely without authentication.
Windows XP users will continue to receive automatic security updates for Java 7 until at least April 2015.
“We will continue [to] monitor the uptake of Java 7 updates on Windows XP,” Stahl said. “If usage remains high when we get close to that milestone, we will take measures to keep Java users safe.”
