Hi,
all in all, everything is working well with Java 8 so far, except that
this version will not anymore be maintained by Oracle without a paid
support, but it still maintained by some other organizations.
So I guess we can keep going on for a couple of more years ;-)

Hi,
Apache Kerby has a minimal version of Java 8. If Apache Directory were
to switch to Java 11, I would have to create a profile to exclude the
LDAP backend from Kerby if someone wanted to use Java 8 - but that's
OK. I could bump Kerby to Java 11 as well, but I'd only do that in a
new major version. In short, no major objections to moving Apache
Directory Server to Java 11, if there are good reasons to do so.

Hi!
we currently support Java 8 (plus the newer LTES 11 and 17.
Java 8 is EOL since mars 2022, and the security support ends in 2025.
Should we decide to drop Java 8 now?
We currently have tests for:
LDAP API: Java 8, 11, 17 on Linux, Java 8 on windows
Server: Java 8, 11, 17 on Linux, Java 11 on windows
Studio: Java 11 and 17 on Linux, Java 11 on windows
Kerby: Not sure which versions are supported
Fortress: Java 8
I think we should complete the matrix for all the projects and OS
(Linux, MacOS and Windows)
Now, Java 17 is out for almost a year, an it might become mainstream
sooner or later.
The questio is to see if we should keep going with Java 8 for the next
releases, or if we should decide to switch to Java 11 - or 17 ? -
wdyt ?
