Dong Lin commented on FLINK-30501:
----------------------------------
[~zhongpu314] But it is incorrect to say that "Flink requires at least Java 11
to build" while we do allow Flink to be built from Java 8, right?
Would it be better to just say "Java 8 is deprecated"?
> Update Flink build instruction to deprecate Java 8 instead of requiring Java
> 11

> Flink 1.15 and later versions require at least Java 11 to build from sources
> [1], whereas the pom.xml specifies the source/target is 1.8.
> This is inconsistent. We update our doc to mention that Java 8 is deprecated
> instead of saying that Java 11 is required.
> The statement "Fink requires at least Java 11 to build" was added in
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25247. However the JIRA title
> only says "Inform users about deprecation". And the PR was not approved by
> any committer other than the PR author.
