## Supported Java Versions
7676

7777
Java 7 or above is required for using this client.
7878

79+
Google's Java client libraries,
80+
[Google Cloud Client Libraries][cloudlibs]
81+
and
82+
[Google Cloud API Libraries][apilibs],
83+
follow the
84+
[Oracle Java SE support roadmap][oracle]
85+
(see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).
86+
87+
### For new development
88+
89+
In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java
90+
LTS version covered by Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years
91+
from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given
92+
library is changed, it is accompanied by a [semver][semver] major release.
93+
94+
Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new
95+
development.
96+
97+
### Keeping production systems current
98+
99+
Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by
100+
Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial
101+
General Availability).
102+
103+
#### Legacy support
104+
105+
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long
106+
term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis
107+
as it may not be possible to backport all patches.
108+
109+
Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use
110+
Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library
111+
that supports their JVM.
112+
113+
#### Where to find specific information
114+
115+
The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on
116+
the individual GitHub repository `github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME`
117+
and on [google-cloud-java][g-c-j].
