-## Java Versions
+## Supported Java Versions
 
 Java 7 or above is required for using this client.
 
+Google's Java client libraries,
+[Google Cloud Client Libraries][cloudlibs]
+and
+[Google Cloud API Libraries][apilibs],
+follow the
+[Oracle Java SE support roadmap][oracle]
+(see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).
+
+### For new development
+
+In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java
+LTS version covered by  Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years
+from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given
+library is changed, it is accompanied by a [semver][semver] major release.
+
+Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new
+development.
+
+### Keeping production systems current
+
+Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by
+Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial
+General Availability).
+
+#### Legacy support
+
+Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long
+term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis
+as it may not be possible to backport all patches.
+
+Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use
+Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library
+that supports their JVM.
+
+#### Where to find specific information
+
+The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on
+the individual GitHub repository `github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME`
+and on [google-cloud-java][g-c-j].
