Summary: VMPlugin cleanup for Groovy 6
Key: GROOVY-11906
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11906
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Paul King
Assignee: Paul King
Since Groovy 6 has JDK17 minimum, the older JDK versions in the vmplugin
hierarchy, while not causing any harm, are essentially offering no value by
being split.
As a first step, I propose the following vmplugin refactoring:
- Create v17/Java17.java extending Java16
- Update VMPluginFactory to use only Java17
- Deprecate Java8, Java9, Java10, Java16 for removal
- Leave existing auxiliary files in place
- Added @SuppressWarnings("removal") at call sites using the old classes
Subsequently, we can choose to remove some of the older files and "push
functionality up the hierarchy".
