Hi everyone, I'd like to start a discussion about updating Avro's minimum supported Java version from 11+ to 17+ and dropping support for JDK 11.
The main motivation for this change is to allow us to upgrade Jetty from 9.4.x to 12.1.0. Jetty versions 9 through 11 have reached end of life. See Jetty Version Support and Documentation for details: https://jetty.org/docs/jetty/12/index.html. Moving to Jetty 12 will keep us on a maintained version that continues to receive updates and security fixes. The proposed Jetty uplift is being tracked here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4192. Before proceeding, I'd like to get input from the community on whether anyone foresees issues with raising the minimum JDK requirement to 17. Thanks, Andrew Lamb
