Issue/Introduction

Following the recent announcement regarding Oracle Java below:

"Dear Customer, CA Technologies, A Broadcom Company, is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. Based on customer feedback, we are incorporating more open source technologies into our digital transformation solutions (e.g. Rally, Automic, Blazemeter, Clarity, etc.) and are reducing reliance on proprietary third-party components. As part of this, products will be using open source implementations of Java.  In accordance with CA Technologies Support Policy and Terms at https://casupport.broadcom.com/, please consider this message as written notification that we will discontinue product updates related to Oracle Java, beginning today August 19, 2019. CA Technologies continues to support its products and stand by the terms and conditions set forth in the license agreements between CA Technologies and its customers. Existing customers may continue to run CA Products and use releases that include Oracle Java components in production and non-production environments. However, to address any future Java security and vulnerability issues that may arise, it may be necessary for customers to install a service pack, or update to a newer release, of a CA Technologies product, or to migrate to an alternative Java implementation. Please refer to https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/product-content/status/announcement-documents/2019/oracle-jdk-notifications.html support site for specific information by product. CA Technologies currently plans for future releases and service packs of its products to continue to incorporate Java-based technology, which may include, but is not limited to, open source implementations of Java. For questions and additional information, please refer to https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/product-content/status/announcement-documents/2019/oracle-jdk-notifications.html   Thank you, The CA Technologies Software Team"
