Hi, once 5.5.0 is released, I think we should decide what our targets are for 6.0. I have a list with things I'd like to see (and would like to implement):
- raise the baseline JDK to 17 - remove obsolete code and utility classes not needed anymore and replace with standard JDK 17 fearures - modernize the code base - solve the last remaining JPMS compatibility problems, namely SparseBitSet not fully supporting the module system (uses an automatic module name) by either removing the dependency on com.zaxxer.sparsebitset or getting the author to add a real module-info.java to his project (honestly, I have very little hope for that to happen - the maintainer seems quite oblivious to the fact that automatic module names make life hard for people using jlkink). We could use another sparse BitSet implementation, fork the project, copy the source or change the POI code to not use a bitset at all. What are your thoughts?
