Hello. In Fedora 42, Javapackages project (the Java packaging tooling used for building Java packages) will stop supporting OpenJDK 8 (1.8), OpenJDK 11 and OpenJDK 17 for building RPM packages with. In Fedora 42 the only Java version supported for building Fedora packages will be OpenJDK 21. Later on support for newer Java version(s) will be added.
This change is directly related to OpenJDK 11 support ending in October 2024 [1], but at the same time we are also dropping Javapackages support for the two other legacy Javas -- OpenJDK 8 (1.8) and OpenJDK 17. In particular, the above means that packages maven-local-openjdk8, maven-local-openjdk11 and maven-local-openjdk17 will be obsoleted and removed from Fedora rawhide (42). PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/javapackages-tools/pull-request/31 I've identified only two affected packages: * openjfx8 build-requires maven-local-openjdk8 * flexmark-java build-requires maven-local-openjdk17 If possible, please migrate your packages to build with OpenJDK 21 -- switch BuildRequires to "maven-local-openjdk21" or just "maven-local". If not, let me know and I can help to make the packages keep building after the Javapackages change happens.
