Download Java 8 Update 351 (Offline Installers)

A newer version of Java has been released by Oracle, which is Java 8 Update 351 (JDK 8u341). This is required to run applications and programs written in the Java programming language. Moreover, this update addresses 370 security vulnerabilities which you can read here.

Oracle, as well as Itechtics, recommends that you update your Java version to the latest release since it not only includes functional improvements but keeps your system secure through security patches.

Let us now see what other improvements have been made with this release, and then continue to download and install it.

Release Summary

• Latest Java Version: Java 8 Update 351-b10
• Release date: October 18th, 2022 (All version release dates here)
• Compatible OS: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7, MacOS, Linux, and Solaris
• License: Free

Changes and Fixes

Java 8 Update 351 comes with the following updates:

• The default PKCS12 MAC algorithm has been updated

  The default MAC algorithm used in a PKCS #12 keystore has been updated. The new algorithm is based on SHA-256 and is stronger than the old one based on SHA-1. See the security properties starting with keystore.pkcs12 in the java.security file for detailed information.

  The new SHA-256-based MAC algorithms were introduced in the 11.0.12, 8u301, and 7u311 JDK versions. Keystores created using this newer, stronger, MAC algorithm cannot be opened in JDK versions earlier than 11.0.12, 8u301, and 7u311. A ‘java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException’ exception will be thrown in such circumstances.

  For compatibility, use the keystore.pkcs12.legacy system property, which will revert the algorithms to use the older, weaker algorithms. There is no value defined for this property.

• os::set_native_thread_name() cleanups

  On platforms that support the concept of a thread name on their native threads, the java.lang.Thread.setName() method will also set that native thread name. However, this will only occur when called by the current thread, and only for threads started through the java.lang.Thread class (not for native threads that have been attached via JNI).

  The presence of a native thread name can be useful for debugging and monitoring purposes. Some platforms may limit the native thread name to a length much shorter than that used by the java.lang.Thread, which may result in some threads having the same native name.

You can read the complete change log in the release notes.

JDK VS JRE

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a piece of software that is installed on your computer that allows you to run applications developed in Java on your device. It provides certain libraries and other components that are required to run a Java program.

JRE also includes Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is an engine also required to run Java applications on a machine. This engine is included in the JRE package and cannot be installed separately.

The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a development kit that includes both the JRE and the JVM. If you are looking to create your own Java applets, then JDK is what you need. If you have JDK already installed on your device, you do not require to install JRE separately, unless a different version is required.

This should clear up if you want to install JRE or the JDK.
