I am Ok with bumping the bytecode to Java 17. Regarding the build requirements I would give by **default** a larger spectrum of possible JDKs. Right now we only accept JDK 17 in the default Maven profile. A Log4j contributor is forced to install JDK 17 for a build to succeed, which might be annoying. Therefore it might be better to: * set the Enforcer plugin to accept [minimum_JDK_required_by_Maven_plugins,) * set [17,18) **only** in the `release` plugin. BTW: when we bump BND to 7.x, minimum_JDK_required_by_Maven_plugins will be 17. Piotr
