Hello devs,

I hope everyone recovered from the last JDK 8 thread and is ready for the first JDK 8 thread of 2023 :)

The commit validation job is currently testing on 8, 11, 17 and 20-ea. It doesn't like NetBeans editor modules which require java 11 though which blocks a Jakarta EE 10 PR atm (#4692).

This means we need either 1) a volunteer who would like to spend time and fix JDK 8 tests, 2) we remove JDK 8 from the CV test matrix or 3) we won't be able to merge this pr before freeze.

Given that NB doesn't really support running on JDK 11 since a while I would simply opt for 2) and merge.

The problem is that I don't know the NB VSCode Extension situation very well.

Have the NB VSCode Extension specific tests (which run on JDK 8) sufficient coverage so that we can remove JDK 8 from the CV test matrix? At what point will JDK 11 modules become a problem for VSCode? When will the VSCode NB extension bump the runtime requirement to 11?

The next modules which would require JDK 11 are probably maven related (#4999) but this wouldn't be for NB 17.

best regards,

michael
