Hi there. Over on oak-dev, we're discussing moving the required Java version (for stable releases cut from trunk) to Java 11 (see OAK-10001).
If that happens, this will have consequences for Jackrabbit Classic as well, as Jackrabbit implements "Jackrabbit API", which now lives over in Oak. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4869 for futher information and the current plan. Best regards, Julian
