Hi,
what about setting Java 11 as a minimum requirement for trunk, upcoming
3.0 release? Not that we have to use classes/constructs... from Java 11
but as Java 8 is outdated declaring Java 11 as a minimum requirement
will have the benefit that moving forward we won't need a major release
if we'd like to switch to Java 11 during the 3.0 livecycle.
Thoughts?
As long as we don't use any Java 11 feature I don't see any reason to change the
minimum requirement. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of PDFBox users who are
still on Java 8 and those would be able to use PDFBox anymore without manually
recompiling it. I'm one of those users.
On the other hand it is important to ensure Java 11 or higher compatibility if
possible to support those users running PDFBox in a more recent runtime
environment. Tilman is already addressing this topic by maintaining a couple of
jenkins jobs using different JDKs.
