Is Java 8 supported on Windows XP?
The technical answer is, no, it is no longer supported on Windows XP.
This does not mean it will not work properly.
Oracle just no longer supports the product in the same sense that Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP. Java 8 will still work properly on Windows XP but people/businesses with support contracts with Oracle will no longer be able to receive support for Java 8 if it is running on a Windows XP machine.
