Hi Georg,
also a +1 from me.
The last software I updated from Java 8 was to 17 directly, skipping 11.
Oracle says they dropped "Premier Support" for 11 in 2023 (whatever that
means exactly)
https://www.oracle.com/de/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html
According to this we could also target the next LTS version (Java 21)
for 2026?
Regarding the JDBC compatibility, I don't see any problems. The latest
JDBC API is Version 4.3 from Java SE 9, which we already skipped.
I would agree on modernisation of the template code (and maybe drop one
version? sql code is in groovy and velocity)
Also I would like to address some cleanup of the repository. I am more
of a git user, so when I started to work on the project i was a little
confused about the folder structure of this project. (e.g. torque4 still
floating around somehow)
Max
P.S.: i also worked on a gradle-plugin version of the torque-generator,
which I could provide for implementation for an upcoming version. It is
currently written in Kotlin and uses a gradle-style project. Rewriting
it as a maven-project and in Java should be possible, but will need some
work.

Hi Torque Devs,
what about to upgrade Java baseline to version 17 for the next release?
This would be in line with Apache Turbine project v7, which does use Torque as
ORM mapper, and is now in the process to upgrade to Java 17.
In my opinion we do not need a vote for this, when discussing is sufficient and
no one comes up with an better alternative or other considerations ..
Thanks for your comments!
Best regards, Georg
