Hi all, I have merged PR#1369[1] and bumped the requirement for the JDK used to build `2.x` to JDK 11+, which is able to compile all our modules. If your JAVA_HOME points to a JDK 8 installation, you'll get a build failure.
On the other hand Maven Toolchains are no longer required, unless you want to run your tests on JRE 8, in which case: * configure a JDK 8 toolchain, * run `./mvnw verify -Pjava8-tests` Of course the whole building instructions are available in our BUILDING.md[2]. Piotr PS: If you use JDK 17 you'll get a bunch of failing tests. I didn't want to waste time fixing them, since we'll probably fix them properly in a couple of months.
