Joerg Hoh commented on SLING-12321: ----------------------------------- [~kwin] I don't get it. * We decide to make Java11 the default runtime version (SLING-11841). I am fine with that and voted +1 for it. * I get here the recommendation NOT to require Java 11 as runtime, as the code does not require it, but still works with Java 8. So, should I read SLING-11841 in this way: * it is ok to use Java 11 features in the code, and then require a Java11 runtime. * but if you dont use Java11 features in the bundle, still build for Java 8? Your proposal explicitly mentions the lack of public support of Java 8 from Oracle as a main reason for changing the default to Java 11, so I don't understand why on a case-by-case basis we should still support Java 8. > Update parent pom to latest > --------------------------- > > Key: SLING-12321 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12321 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Task > Components: Engine > Reporter: Joerg Hoh > Assignee: Joerg Hoh > Priority: Major > Fix For: Engine 2.15.16 > > > Updating to parent 60 an force the result to be runable with Java 8 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
