Dear Maven team, Would it help you to make the decision if you have usage statistics of JDK 17 among IntelliJ IDEA Maven users? -- Nikita Skvortsov Software Developer JetBrains http://www.jetbrains.com The Drive to Develop ср, 31 мая 2023 г. в 11:43, Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibu...@gmail.com>: > Do we have some download stats (not a poll) - maybe on sdkman or some jdk > vendors side? > Recently I saw (with customers I'm working on) the java 17 adoption being > quite large and since people stucked to 3.9 will be covered for java 8 I > think it could be sane to switch *master* if we can validate with actual > figures (with little bias) that java 17 is >= 50% (being said the forward > way is it will only increase). > > Side note: I'm not sure toolchain workaround is of any help there since the > main case will likely stay "use the contextual one and I don't have others > to offer you". > > So overall, if we can find some convergence that java 17 is getting widely > adopted I would be to switch now fo rmaven 4 without any toolchain hack. > > Romain Manni-Bucau > @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog > <https://rmannibucau.metawerx.net/> | Old Blog > <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github < > https://github.com/rmannibucau> | > LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> | Book > < > https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/java-ee-8-high-performance > > > > > Le mer. 31 mai 2023 à 11:21, Michael Osipov <micha...@apache.org> a écrit > : > > > > I think with those improvements, requiring JDK 17 for master should be > > > doable.
