Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-7157:
-------------------------------------------
We could probably have added a sentence to the release notes stating explicitly
that we drop support for JDK versions prior to JDK 21. Just to avoid surprises.
(I was caught by this myself, when I first tried to use the release candidate
with JDK 17, and realized I had to install a newer JDK to get it working.) I
suppose the download page will say "For Java 21 and Higher" when we make the
new version available there, similar to what it says for other versions, so
it's probably not a big issue in practice.
(I assume dropping support for JDK 17 was intentional, and not just that we
have forgotten to set the correct target version in the build scripts.)
