Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-22996:
-------------------------------------
[~apupier] Claus would like Java 17 dropped in Camel 4.24.0 (expected December
2026), with Java 21 as the minimum. Could you take this on? main is now
4.24.0-SNAPSHOT.
The linked "is required by" issues are upgrades waiting on this. The newest is
CAMEL-25689: JToon 2.0.6 and later are Java 21 bytecode, so camel-toon is held
at JToon 2.0.5 and PR [#27907|https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/27907] is
parked as a draft.

> As part of the big work leading up to SB4 and what else, then its worth to
> consider dropping Java 17 and let 21 be primary supported and also the
> minimum version.
> There is no bandwidth to support 17, 21, and 25. Camel only officially
> support at most 2 LTS java versions.
