Hi all, Based on what I read in this recent thread <https://groups.google.com/g/go-cd/c/GeH97RQAcQg>, it seems GoCD only supports Java v >= (latest-2), regardless of Long-Term Support status of any releases.
This would seem to indicate that even though Java 11 is the most recent LTS version and the next LTS version will not be until Java 17, GoCD has already dropped support for Java 11 because Java 14 (not LTS) and 15 (not LTS) have already been released, so (latest-2) is now 13. This will effectively force all GoCD users to either go long periods of time without updating GoCD (i.e. do not run any versions of GoCD that support neither v11 nor v17) or switch to non-LTS versions of Java. Since non-LTS versions of Java are only supported for 6 months until the next version is released, this then forces all GoCD users to major Java version updates every 6 months if they want to run only supported versions. Am I missing something here? Why does GoCD not support the latest LTS version of Java? Why support Java 13 (support ended more than a year ago in March 2020) but not 11 (supported until at least 2024)? Is it just too much work to test such an "old" version? Sorry if this is not the right place to raise this but it didn't seem appropriate to raise a GitHub Issue at this point. I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this.
