Hi all, recently I've merged a pull request[1] that migrates our tests in main repo from junit 4 to junit 5, I've also verified the tests passed in Java 11 and above, now, I'm proposing to upgrade the minimum required Java version, including development environment (JDK version), and runtime environment (JRE version) to Java 11.
Java 8 is a popular version, there are a lot of projects still using it, but fact is fact, Java 8 is really old and there are lots of fascinating features in Java 11 that we will benefit in our development experience, there are also some performance improvements that we will benefit at runtime, so I would be really excited if we could bump up the Java version to Java 11. What do you think? If you have any concern, please reply here and we can discuss more before we make a decision, if you are excited too to upgrade the Java version, please vote here!
