> Affects Versions: 0.16.1
> Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger
> Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0, 0.18
>
>
> Due to the deprecation of Java8 and the low support of tooling we should

> h2. GitHubActions
> *
> https://github.com/actions/setup-java?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-version-syntax
> * no JDK8 on macos-latest available
> * JDK8-tests fail randomly on GHA (ReportOptionTests)
> h2. ASF Jenkins
> * can we build against newest JDK25 as well?
> h2. Dependabot
> * reconfigure dependabot exclusions and check if there are any comments on
> https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/13141 as current
> exclusions do not seem to work properly
> h2. LTS version matrix
> - Java 11 (released in September 2018)
> - Java 17 (released in September 2021)
> - Java 21 (released in September 2023)
> Due to the existing Javadocproblem we should build with Java21 but stay with
> compiler level of Java17! see RAT-497
