Hi, Changing subject to make sure we get enough attention. With Oak 1.50 requiring Java 11 it does not look like we can hold on to Java 8 for much longer.
I filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-11840 to track this. If anyone sees a reason to keep supporting Java 8, please say so. Note that this does not mean that the Sling bundles need to bump the required version to Java 11, they can keep supporting Java 8 as long as it is desired.
