Hi all, The JDK17 migration infra changes were merged. The default JDK version used for Java tests is now JDK 17. If needed, this can be overridden by including the "JAVA8_OVERRIDE" string in the commit message; ensure nothing else is present in that line.
The workplace cleanup job has been run, make sure to rebase your changes to master, so that the relevant bits are picked up. If you run into any issues, please let me know! Also, a huge shoutout to Marton Greber for his help navigating the upstream infrastructure!
