BTW, here is a bigger poll done by the Maven folks on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/khmarbaise/status/1549429653202518016
As of this writing it has the following vote breakdown:
* JDK 8 - 15%
* JDK 11 - 36%
* JDK 17 - 46%
Kinda tells me that the new Bootique could be on 17, while the new Cayenne
still has to stay on 11 as Nikita suggested. The difference betyween the two is
that Bootique brings most of the app dependencies with it, so it can drive (and
simplify) the upgrade for an entire app. While Cayenne needs to work with what
a user has.
On the other hand, ~ a year from now when 5.x may become stable, the numbers
are going to be different...
