>> Java 17 users says that support for Java 17 will end March 31, 2026
This is the support for Java from Oracle, but not our support. I think we should not wait another four months, we are already late in our plan: We agreed in a long discussion to switch to Java 21 this year and that already was a compromise (actually we planned to switch to Java 21 right after the drop of Java 11). So I think we should stick to that plan (that has been accepted by the Governance board) and drop Java 17 the next weekly after the next LTS baseline switch. This is already later than planned. I also did not hear any complaint from users that still want to use the Java 17 runtime so why should we wait for that step again. Java 21 support ist already available for two years now.
