Hi all, Otto just bumped me about us still referencing Java 8 as minimum version.
I think we could be Java 8 compatible, if we only want to build the java part. However as soon as we also build c or go, we need 11 due to the cmake-maven-plugin. Also do we need it in order to build some of the integration modules. So I think instead of investing time into ironing out the Java 8 incompatibilities, I would like to make the minimum version 11 officially. I know that in the past I said, that customers might be needing Java 1.8, but as officially almost nobody admits using PLC4X and we know nothing about the setups people are using we'll simply do a decision on the facts known to us. Right now, this is: * Supporting Java 8 adds more work for me and doesn't bring an advantage that I'm aware of. * Sebastian would love to officially be allowed to use Java 11 goodness Chris
