-----------------------------------
Summary: Move to JDK 11 as the lowest supported version
Key: JDO-812
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-812
Project: JDO
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Tobias Bouschen
I propose to move the lowest supported JDK version to JDK11 to allow us to move
the used libraries (like Derby) to the newest version. Additionally, this would
allow us to use some of the comfort features that were introduced in-between
JDK 8 and 11 (like In-line Collection creation through {{{}List.of(...){}}},
etc.).
>From what I remember, we should already be fully compatible with JDK 11, so
>the switch itself should only require minimal effort.
This would definitely be a breaking change, so the benefit of this change would
have to be considered under this aspect as well (if we don't already have
breaking changes since 3.2). A second consideration would also be when the next
release is likely to take place (and whether JDK 8 will still be relevant at
that point.)
