Not directly (SimRel can still use older versions of TM4E), but yes, I
guess it can become the beginning of a trend for many projects and
ultimately SimRel moving to JRE 17.
Downstream projects/products that have different requirements from what
SimRel decides to provide will have to deal with them on their hand, eg
composing versions in their .target.

This is kind of a 1st heads up ;)

My 2 cents is that the newest BREE allowed in SimRel should be the same

Eclipse IDE can currently run with JRE 11, but the vast majority of users
now do get JustJ from EPP packages; and that is currently Java 18.

But overall, it is still totally acceptable for some projects to stick to
older Java while some other move to newer.
