Robert Varga commented on KARAF-7754: ------------------------------------- Okay, so the comments received and technical debt make it clear we need to take a staggered approach here. At the end of the day, we establishing three baselines as part of this issue: - karaf.git requires Java 11 (KARAF-7764), which is already a reallity - launching karaf via ./bin/karaf requires Java 11 - karaf.git produces Java 11 bytecode There are a number of things we can do based on these baselines being established. Such issues lay outside of the scope of this issue. This issue is really about establishing the three baselines listed. Any implied work should proceed in scope of its own issue. > Require Java 11 at build and runtime > ------------------------------------ > > Key: KARAF-7754 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-7754 > Project: Karaf > Issue Type: Epic > Components: karaf > Reporter: Robert Varga > Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré > Priority: Major > > Java 11 has been around forever. Jumping to this release is going to make > things easier, as we do not have to deal with the packaging differences > between Java 8 and Java 9+, allowing us to address a number of outstanding > issues. > This is also a prerequisite for KARAF-7544. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
