Hi,
Everything is outdated somehow. Why not start with jdk11 for the next
release because jdk17 could mean that many more people would have to
change their build scripts? And then after the release and maybe angry
feedback of people who don't read here, move to jdk17 for the next next
release.

Dear RAT-users,
as part of the upcoming 1.0.0-release we want to get rid of
-deprecated stuff in RAT (you may have run into some of these warnings
while migrating to 0.17) and
-update to a newer JDK version (as our reliance on JDK8 forces us to
stay with many discontinued versions of libraries and dependencies).
In the related task (created during development of 0.17)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-478 I mentioned upgrading to
JDK11, BUT this seems to be outdated as well, therefore I'd like to
start the discussion if JDK17 would be a better starting point.
JDK17 would allow us to use newer versions of libraries (e.g.
https://docs.junit.org/6.0.0/release-notes/).
Looking forward to your opinion & preferences.
Thanks
Phil
