Dong Lin updated FLINK-30501:
-----------------------------
Description:
Flink 1.15 and later versions require at least Java 11 to build from sources
[1], whereas the pom.xml specifies the source/target is 1.8. This inconsistency
confuses users.
As mentioned in the FLINK-25247 title, the goal of that ticket is to "Inform
users about deprecation". It will be better to inform users that "Java 8 is
deprecated" instead of saying "Fink requires at least Java 11 to build", so
that users have the right information to make the right choice for themselves.

[https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.15/docs/flinkdev/building/]
was:
Flink 1.15 and later versions require at least Java 11 to build from sources
[1], whereas the pom.xml specifies the source/target is 1.8.
This is inconsistent. We update our doc to mention that Java 8 is deprecated
instead of saying that Java 11 is required.
The statement "Fink requires at least Java 11 to build" was added in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25247. However the JIRA title only
says "Inform users about deprecation".
