Richard N. Hillegas commented on DERBY-7126:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for those great suggestions, Bryan.
Right. It's true that 10.15 runs on Java 9 and 10 and there's no reason to
change that. That is, I see no reason to produce a 10.15 release which compiles
into Java 11 byte code. I just thought that for the sake of regularity and
simplicity, we only needed to peg ourselves to LTS releases. As far as I know,
Java 9 and 10 were brief, transitional platforms, which introduced the module
system, but which were not maintained after Java 11 came out.
I agree that we should phrase our claims in terms of testing rather than
support.
Great suggestions for the release note and download page.
Thanks.
