GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: [Question] Java 17 plans?
<!-- Greeting --> Hey @imbajin! I'm here to assist you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's work together to solve this! <!-- Answer --> The main challenge with running HugeGraph on Java 17 is the compatibility issue with the older version of Groovy (2.5.15) used by TinkerPop. Upgrading to TinkerPop Gremlin 3.7+, which uses Groovy 4.0.23, would resolve this issue. However, this upgrade involves potential changes and impacts, particularly on query statements and breaking changes. The `run-tinkerpop-test.sh` script is used to execute TinkerPop-related tests, ensuring compatibility with Gremlin 3.7+. It runs specific test profiles to verify the structure and process compatibility with the upgraded Gremlin version <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-hugegraph/blob/master/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-dist/src/assembly/travis/run-tinkerpop-test.sh)</sup>. The GitHub Actions workflow file (`server-ci.yml`) includes steps to run these TinkerPop tests, which are crucial for ensuring compatibility with the upgraded Gremlin version. The CI pipeline currently mentions Java 8, which may need updating to support Java 17 as the project evolves. While the code is compatible with Java 17 in terms of building, the runtime issues due to the Groovy version remain. The maintainers have plans to upgrade TinkerPop but are currently addressing higher-priority issues. They are open to community contributions to expedite this process. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* --- <sup>Help Dosu learn!
