I don't see a big issue here. At some point it was discussed and someone, I think Jaroslav, said, that in the old time, NetBeans was able to be run on JDK-1. I remember that also, but at some point in the 8? cycle build requirements jumped to 8, while target version was still 1.7. Translating to today, LTS versions can be considered mostly identical to the old times java released. We currently run on 11 (current LTS) and support 8, I think the Java 17 LTS jump might be good time to speak again. It should also be said, it is possible to keep compatiblity with old and recent versions of Java, but at somepoint it becomes to strainging. I don't want to discuss this now, but would be prefer to Java 17 become mature and discuss then.
