Hi, I would like to propose backporting the OpenSSL FFM support to Tomcat 10.1.
Java 22.0.0 should be released on March 19, and the next Java LTS should still have no problem targeting Java 11. As a result, there should be no negative impact to the platform support, and users running on Java 22+ could benefit from easier OpenSSL support. Obviously I anticipate most users will use FFM support once the next Java LTS is out in a few years, but getting the feature out now would still be good. After the change: - Compiling, running the testsuite, etc is still doable with Java 17. - Running Tomcat 10.1 still works with Java 11. - Building a Tomcat 10.1 release would now require Java 22+. Backporting further to Tomcat 9.0 could be riskier however. Following the removal of the Java 7 release target, Java 8 might be next. The main question is if the next Java LTS will still support the Java 8 release target. Comments ?
