How would you know if you have the refreshed installer? As for info on updating CF to use a new Java version, there are many resources from Adobe and others, including a recent blog post and video walking through the process from Pete Freitag. And yes, Adobe always supports you moving to the latest point release of a given Java version (like 11.0.2), as long as that CF version supports the major version (like Java 11, as CF2018 does after update 2). Next, the JVM which the new installer comes with is version 11.0.1, and since then there was the newer 11.0.2, which you should consider. Though the installer is “updated”, it can no longer be considered to “completely updated”, in terms of both CF2018 and Java.įirst, as I noted above there was another update to CF2018 since then: Update 3, on March 1, which included an important security update, so you will want to apply that also. Some further updates you should still consider
So to be clear, if you do download (or have downloaded) CF2018 from the Adobe CF site after that date, you will get the new installer. Instead, the new installer is mentioned only briefly in the page which lists all ColdFusion (2018 release) updates, as indicated between the news of updates 2 and 3:ĬoldFusion (2018 release) Update 2 – installer refreshĬoldFusion (2018 release) Update 2 installer refresh (release date February 12, 2019) contains support for Java 11 While there were indeed Adobe blog posts about each of those updates, I don’t find that there was a separate Adobe blog post about the refreshed installer, which is why I’m writing this.
If you hadn’t heard about this updated installer, it would was easy to miss the news in the flurry of CF updates which had been released the same day (for CF2018, CF2016, and CF11), as well as more the next week and yet a week later. I also share here info on identifying the installers, and possible issues to consider going forward, given the existence of these different installers for the same CF version. Even so, there are subsequent updates to both CF and Java that you should consider. It also comes pre-configured with CF2018 update 2.
Did you know that the ColdFusion 2018 installer was “refreshed” on Feb 12, 2019? Its primary change was to include Java 11, as the original installer from July 2018 shipped with Java 10.
