Hi, I need to install jenkins and so I need to upgrade java to version 1.8, but I saw in the forum () that this can cause problems with easyapache. In the forum, the user reports problems with easyapache3. Although we use easyapache4, I was afraid to try to upgrade. Can I have problems with easyapache4 or another service with java update for version 1.8? Thank you!

  Hello @Douglas Rocha, OpenJDK version 1.8 is supported for use with Tomcat in EasyApache 4. It's automatically installed from your operating system's YUM repo as a package dependency for the ea-tomcat85 RPM: # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) # yum install ea-tomcat85 # rpm -qa|grep java-1.8 java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.212.b04-0.el7_6.x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.212.b04-0.el7_6.x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.212.b04-0.el7_6.x86_64 # java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_212"
  Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

  Java 8 is End of Life now. You'll want to install Java 11 LTS at this point.

  OpenJDK 8 (available in CentOS versions 6 and 7 via the java-1.8.0-openjdk RPM) is the open source implementation of Java SE version 8 (Oracle's Java Standard Edition). RedHat's documentation notes the EOL status for their support of this version is scheduled for June 2023. OpenJDK 11 (available in CentOS 7.6+ via the java-11-openjdk RPM) is the open source implementation of Java SE version 11 (Oracle's Java Standard Edition). Tomcat version 8.5 is currently offered as part of EasyApache 4 through the ea-tomcat85 RPM and includes a dependency for OpenJDK 8. The following blog post offers some more details about our Tomcat implementation:

  cPanel doesn't provide any specific version of Java, but only supports those tools through the Tomcat system:
