Angela Schreiber commented on OAK-10001: ---------------------------------------- i would do it asap.... so, if it's easy doable i would do it for 1.46. it takes more time, it should not delay a release for it. > Bump up minimal Java version to 11 > ---------------------------------- > > Key: OAK-10001 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10001 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Julian Reschke > Assignee: Julian Reschke > Priority: Major > > Active support for Java 8 ended a few months ago (see > [https://endoflife.date/java]). > Java 11 has been available for four years, and offers various improvements > (in particular, it contains extensions that may help in avoiding use of Guava > (see OAK-7182)). > (Note that even Java 11 will be out of active support in a few months - so a > subsequent update to the next LTS release - Java 17 - is not that far away). > Potential downsides: > - backports to 1.22 might become harder (1.8 will be EOLd next spring > anyway). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
