Except the jdk7 source target :) Thats no go for jdk 21,22 and 23... So what now? My proposal is to merge this(to make it working in 8-21). Backport it to jdk21, and for jkd23 write a JEP and move it out of the jdk repo to its own repo or repos, and solve any source/target like problems here. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17303#issuecomment-1898786466
