I think that there are two different ideas / thoughts in here:

(a) JDK / JRE 17 Runtime: Be able to deploy and operate a TomEE with a
Java 17 environment. This might be solvable by adding JVM options (as
mentioned by Thiago and Vicente) or doing some rework of the proxy
factory (looks like a solution without the JVM flags as mentioned by
Jon)

(b) _Compiling_ TomEE with JDK 11+ 

For (b) and Corba: 

I had worked on it a in 2020 and had two drafts. In May, we had some
issues with a force push to master, which closed / killed all open PRs,
which render the diff nearly useless. The drafts:

- https://github.com/apache/tomee/pull/713 (use byte code generation at
build time -> drawbacks as mentioned by Romain)

- https://github.com/apache/tomee/pull/792 (using SPI to lookup a corba
integration module, which can be compiled with Java 8 and is not
included in the main tomee project. I guess it would require some
cleanup / update and the open tasks adressed.


PR 721 had some open questions, which I couldn't resolve at the time it
was created. It might be worth to pick up the work on a J11+ build. The
mail discussion is located here [1].
