No worries. I would not fully agree with "Java becoming legacy"; the Java programming language might, but the JVM ecosystem (especially with GraalVM) and all the new and exciting languages is not.
Licensing IMHO is pretty straightforward: Use OpenJDK in its different flavors (usually the RHEL/Ubuntu versions on Linux and AdoptOpenJDK or Corretto anywhere else) or, if you have money to spend, license from Oracle. JDK8 is obsolete, Java 11 is the standard LTS release so everything *should* build with 11. 16 is around the corner (with full support of Alpine as the most exciting thing in there at least for me). And 17 which will arrive in September then wraps all of this into a nice LTS bundle and build a strong new foundation for the next years. Don't get me wrong; I am excited about Rust and its possibilities, especially in connection with WebAssembly. But Java is far from "legacy". It is still way younger than C++ and no one would call that "legacy". :-) -h On Wed, Mar 3, 2021 at 2:36 AM Claude Brisson <cla...@renegat.net.invalid> wrote: > Thanks for the review, Henning. > > I found a little bug myself, I was considering putting it aside for the > next release, but working on all JDKs seems an important goal.
