Hi Eugen,
we should have in mind that we are mostly serving businesses with this
project and most companies have a conservative update policy for the use
of base technology like Java. They aim for stable, tested and proven
ecosystems (which means external and internal software working
together). The update to a newer version in such ecosystems can be way
more complex compared to the complexity we have in OFBiz alone.
That's why long term support versions of Java exist and are being used.
JDK 17 LTS is supported until at least October 2027 and can easily be
installed on recent Debian based Linux systems.
I value that the OFBiz project is not pushing to the latest versions too
early. I think we are on a resonable path with the move to JDK 21
(supported until Dec. 2029) in trunk.
Best regards,

Hello,
+1 , tested on Debian Trixie with Eclipse Temurin JDK-17 using
Also tested with JDK-21 and JDK-24 and it does not work.
Fails with unknown class version.
It's a shame since Debian Trixie (current stable) comes with JDK-21
and JDK-25 - no JDK-17.
Debian is quite slow in adopting new version and it influences a lot
of downstream projects (Ubuntu, etc).
Would be nice to keep OFBiz in sync with Debian and other popular
distros.

Eugen
