Martin Tzvetanov Grigorov commented on WICKET-6832:
---------------------------------------------------
I also would prefer Wicket to evolve and use newer Java versions.
Big corps make money and can support their products for as long as they have
revenues from them.
RedHat does not backport new features to JDK 8.x but just fix bugs. The
improvements are mostly related to security related functionalities.

> Key: WICKET-6832
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6832
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 9.0.0, 8.9.0
> Reporter: Ashley Reed
> Priority: Major
>
> Wicket needs Content-Security-Policy support in Java 8 as it is it the most
> popular version of Java used in production. Wicket 9 has CSP support, but
> requires Java 11. Wicket 8 runs on Java 8, but has no CSP support. Need to
> either add Java 8 support to Wicket 9 or add CSP support to Wicket 8.
>
> Evidence that Java 8 is still very popular:
