That sounds wise to me, maybe we can try Java 9 though, to not get too much
things to do later?

If I understood the documentation correctly, we have to choose between
two different packages:
- Stable release (long term support, less features)
- Feature release (short term support, more features)
Of the two, I think the stable LTS seems to be more compatible with
our own release cycle. Also we don't usually go crazy with feature
adoption and we prefer to take things slow.
So we can perhaps stick with JDK 8 for as long as we need and maybe
then jump to 11 when we are ready.

Hi,
I was wondering about that too when I read this thread on Tweeter

But it seems OK finally

Thank you Michael for starting this thread.
When discussing this, we will also have to consider that OFBiz currently
depends on several other Open Source products that will have to be
compatible with the platform we will choose (however, considering that
backward compatibility is maintained in new Java releases this is not
going
to be a major concern).

Hi devs,
this is just an initial information and dicussion starter to make
everyone
aware of this:
the Oracle Java release model is changing from a feature based to a time
based model [1]. One major drawback is that there will be no more public
patch releases for older versions once a new release is published, if I
understand correctly.
We'll have to discuss if this affects the project in terms of support for
the latest public Java releases. If we want to stay up-to-date according
to
the public releases, we'll have to establish a process to early check the
new features and changes of a coming release and maybe release more
often.
We might even have to support the latest Java release along with the
current LTS release to cover both users with and without commercial
support? I'm not sure.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Michael
