Hi,

For record, and not a blocker for next release (we can update website just after release):

1/ in https://apache.github.io/jmeter-site-preview/site/changes.html#Known%20problems%20and%20workarounds
I suppose that this sentence can be remove:
"JTable selection with keyboard (SHIFT + up/down) is totally unusable with Java 7 on Mac OSX. This is due to a known Java bug JDK-8025126 The fix is to use JDK 8 b132 or later."

2/ In https://apache.github.io/jmeter-site-preview/site/svnindex.html
We can remove Gitbox link since this link is an automatic redirect to Github.

3/ In https://apache.github.io/jmeter-site-preview/site/building.html
We need to update this page with the requirement to Java 17+ for building JMeter

And on the same page, perhaps change "You require IntelliJ 2018.3.1 or newer." by "You require IntelliJ recent version."

I not sure that "Compiling and packaging JMeter using Eclipse" working (last time I try to do this, was a fail).
