as Shane robinson suggested, i think this is a misunderstanding. People occasionally announce java is having support discontinued, but this is client side java. I'd assume spring boot is server side java. I'm not sure Microsoft and apple have the ability to mess with java as a whole, and if they did, developers would engage in violent armed revolution. Seriously, they'd be blood in the streets. Disabling client side java on the other hand is probably a good thing.(i hope i understand the situation correctly.)
