[DISCUSS] Torque v8 and Java 21

[Kallidis, Georg]

Hi Torque Devs, 

I propose updating Torque to version 8.0-SNAPSHOT and setting Java version
to 21 (from 17).

Accompanying this I would commit this with a couple of dependency updates ..


This would be the next bottom line version for the next Torque release. 

Without opposing replies, I would proceed and update the trunk in the next
weeks.

Thanks,

Best regards, Georg
