Hello,
- Java 11 is 1 year 6 months old
- next LTS release, Java 17, will be released in another 1 year
6 months since now
- JDBC 4.3 is stable since Java 9, being 4.4 in early access stage

So, for me, it seems a good moment to switch o the next LTS.
Bye,
Davide

Discussion on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7076 suggests
that we could move the base JVM level of the next (10.16) release
forward from Java 9 to Java 11. The practical consequence of this is
that the 10.16 family would NOT run on Java 9 and Java 10 JVMs. I do not
think that this would be a serious problem. I suspect that most users
who migrate off Java 8 will skip the intervening non-LTS versions and
upgrade to Java 11 directly. Moving the base JVM level forward would let
us take advantage of more improvements to the core libraries. Following
our past practice, this change would require a vote by the community.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
