Hi Bryan, I'm glad you are paying attention to the JDO project.
It was easy enough to figure out which version of Derby would be needed to support Java 8 which some of us are still using in development. We're discussing which versions of Java that JDO will support and since there are still millions of users on Java 8, we feel that unless there are strong reasons to require upgrading, Java 8 will be the release we support. I have to admit I'm not current with all that later versions of Java offer. That said, we are also testing on Java 11 so we don't want our users to have to stay on Java 8. JDO is dependent on Derby primarily to support the TCK testing. JDO implementations also support many popular open source and commercial databases. We are open to more discussion on versions of our dependencies if anyone here has any insights.
