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.
