I would be definitely +1 for switching defaults and encouraging people to use jdk11
And not against updating the minimum version, people will move when they have to. At my previous work we moved from 7 to 8 when we had to and it was no issue... We’ve been on 11 for awhile here... Java 8 is 6 years older at this point, yes a lots been backported but that doesn’t mean we should stay at it forever Sonarqube recently moved to require java 11 as an example of one development tool that has gone there before us Thanks Tim On Fri, 4 Dec 2020 at 00:33, Oleg Nenashev <o.v.nenas...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, the Java 11 adoption is still very low.
