   Hi @rjrudin - I take it you recompiled parts of the source code. Jena4 as 
released is compiled for Java11.
   
   The project policy is "last two LTS versions". Jena5 will require Java17.
   
   The project has to find a balance with the limited resources available. It 
also has to remain interesting for the contributors. 
   
   It isn't a matter of simply creating a branch because security issues must 
be dealt with across all active artifacts that the project produces. Some of 
the dependencies no longer support Java8. Remaining on old versions of 
dependencies isn't sustainable because of addressing vulnerabilities reported 
in CVEs.
   
   I don't remember that having been a lot of activity to convert existing code 
to use any Java11 language features.
   Jena4 jena-arq does use Java11 `java.net.http`. Jena4 uses Eclipse Jetty10 
which requires Java11.
