Java 17 only has 2 language-level changes (i.e. sealed classes & pattern matching for switch expressions and statements) which I don't think we'll adopt anytime soon, but I think it makes sense to have a formal guard in place just to be safe. We can move the source to 17 in 3.0 (assuming we drop support for 2.x at that point). This is the same approach as taken [by Classic](https://github.com/apache/activemq/blob/52a9aec22ec8309312cdd1a223f2f61dfbc83b2f/pom.xml#L117-118). ########## docs/user-manual/versions.adoc: ########## @@ -12,6 +12,26 @@ NOTE: If the upgrade spans multiple versions then the steps from *each* version NOTE: Follow the general upgrade procedure outlined in the xref:upgrading.adoc#upgrading-the-broker[Upgrading the Broker] chapter in addition to any version-specific upgrade instructions outlined here. +== 2.39.0 + +https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12315920&version=12355167[Full release notes] + +=== Highlights + +* *Java 17 is now required.* + +=== Upgrading from 2.38.0 + +* Due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-5202[ARTEMIS-5202] *support for Java 11 has been dropped*. ++ +The main reason for this change is that the version of Jetty we were embedding in previous versions (i.e. 10) https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/issues/10485[will officially reach its end-of-life on January 1, 2025] and will therefore no longer be receiving _any_ fixes - including security fixes. +Security is critical for us and most of our users so we therefore need to upgrade to Jetty 12 - the only version of Jetty now supported. +Jetty 12 requires Java 17 so the difficult decision was made to drop support for Java 11. ++ +Java 11 is quite old at this point and some vendors have already dropped support for it so many (if not most) users have already upgraded to Java 17.
