Manfred Baedke updated OAK-11952:
---------------------------------
Description:
Java 11 is EOL for quite some time (see [https://endoflife.date/java]).
More and more third party libraries require Java 17, which stops us from
upgrading to the lastest and greatest version. In case of critical security
issues, that might become a major problem.
was:
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).
> Bump up minimal Java version to 17
