Then shame on IBM. Java 8 is ancient, came out in 2014-Java 16 came out a
couple of months ago.

 

Well, they did say they'd have Java 11 eventually:

That was over a year ago.

 

For those who might wonder, 8, 11, and 16 are the supported versions: the
rest are dead. Go figure.

Note that Oracle is pushing folks hard on versions: 16 came out in March, is
dead in September when 17 comes out. 17 will be around a while. IBM should
be thinking about 17, not 11.
