---------------------------------------
Summary: Target Java 11+ , i.e. drop support for Java 8
Key: ARTEMIS-3420
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-3420
Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
Assignee: Robbie Gemmell
Target Java 11 on the main branch. That is, drop support for building or
running with Java 8 [/9/10] from future releases (e.g 2.19.0).
An existing release stream (e.g. from 2.18.0 as of yesterday) could be used for
continued Java 8 support where needed and occasional release for important
fixes for a further period of time.
This was initially proposed by Clebert ahead of 2.17.0 and discussed on the
mailing list ~7 months ago (Jan 2021) in the following thread:
[https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/re59ba50c9d148d278e88d435f57f5cd4b4b69802138eb962b548ec48%40%3Cdev.activemq.apache.org%3E]
I will prod the thread with note of this JIRA and a related PR I will raise
shortly.
(Related note for later reference: Java 17 RC1 is out, RC2 is due later this
week, and final release is due in just under a month)
