Does anyone have any idea what this announcement from Oracle:

 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u43-relnotes-1915290.html

 

This release is the last of publicly available JDK 6 Updates. Oracle recommends that users migrate to JDK 7 in order to continue receiving public updates and security enhancements. All JDK 6 releases up to and including 6u43 will be moved to Java Archive, where they will remain available but will not receive updates. For users who require continued access to JDK 6 updates, long term support is available through the Java SE Support program.

 

will have on SQL Developer?
