> 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
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 6.0.0-alpha-1
>
>
> 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".
