Luis commented on BEAM-12240:
-----------------------------
Hi. I am also looking forward to Java 17 support.
---
Perhaps for a larger discussion within Beam SDK project: "JDK Version Support
Policy".
It came to my attention that some Beam SDK dependencies are starting to drop
Java 8 support:
According to
[https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/P5-jdk-version-support.md#proposal]
> Following Oracle's Premier Support means Java 8 may be dropped in 2022 and
> Java 11 may be dropped in 2023.
Also error-prone now requires JDK 11:
[https://github.com/google/error-prone/releases/tag/v2.11.0]
I wonder how long for should one expect Beam SDK support for Java 8 and Java 11.
> Make Beam compatible with next Java LTS version (Java 17)
