> > I does bring the baseline for framework to JDK 9, but given we can still maintain a JDK 8 branch if required, i would think that's acceptable. > > JDK 11 as lower bound would be an option too - it will receive updates till next year at least. The libs might be able to use a few new APIs and it might be easier to test, given that running CI against EOL JDK 9 is always a bit awkward. > > Projects stuck on EOL JDKs typically don't care about dependency updates, otherwise they wouldn't be there in the first place. So the scenario that someone is running JDK 9 && wants to update felix to the latest version is quite unlikely IMO. (I am no committer) That's a fair point, but given what i know from other PRs where the baseline was proposed to be lifted, we got some pushback on it. I agree that consumers on older JDK versions can remain to use the 7.x line, while 8.x should lift the baseline. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
