------------------------------------------------------------
This kinda feels like we're hitting a tipping point. Should we keep the 2.6.x
branch for Java 8 (and bugfixes) and start on Java 11 for 2.7.x? Or do we need
to wait for Tika 3.x before requiring Java 11... Or do we just sit on our hands
for a few more months/year...?
To my mind, our core dependencies -- the most common parser dependencies, POI,
PDFBox and several others are still on Java 8.

> Key: TIKA-3735
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3735
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Major
>
> This follows on from discussion we had on the user/dev list for when we want
> to require Java 11. I think the consensus was: wait until we have to.
> The following libraries require > Java 8 at the moment. I don't think
> updating any of these is critical, but I do want to document where we're
> stuck.
> We can modify/edit this list as necessary:
> * Apache OpenNLP 2.0.0 requires Java 11.
> * DL4J 1.0.0-M2.1 - datavec-data-image-1.0.0-M2.1.jar requires Java 11
> * Lucene 9.x -- used in tika-eval
> * icu4j -- we can't upgrade past 62.2 (April 2019) because that is the latest
> version that is compatible with Lucene 8.11.1
> (https://github.com/apache/tika/pull/587)
> * mime4j -- the last 2 (or three?) releases have been accidentally built with
> Java 9 without the correct release=8. This should be fixed in the next
> release.
> * Fakeload
> *
