jre、jdk版本的選擇

每個jdk的升級版本包括奇數(shù)版本和偶數(shù)版本，如Java 8 Update 73 (8u73)和Java 8 Update 74 (8u74)。應該怎選擇哪個版本？

生產(chǎn)環(huán)境選8u73；測試環(huán)境可選8u74；

Each release has an odd (CPU) and an even (PSU) number. So in this case, 73 is the CPU (critical fixes) and 74 is the PSU (critical plus non-critical fixes)

General recommendation from oracle in a production environment is to use the CPU releases and start testing the PSU release in your test environments to prepare for the next CPU which will contain the previous PSU plus any new critical updates.
