------------------------------------
Summary: Bump up minimal Java version to 11
Key: OAK-10001
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10001
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Julian Reschke
Assignee: Julian Reschke
Active support for Java 8 ended a few months ago (see
https://endoflife.date/java).
Java 11 has been available for four years, and offers various improvements (in
particular, it contains extensions that may help in avoiding use of Guava (see
OAK-7182).
(Note that even Java 11 will be out of active support in a few months - so a
subsequent update to the next LTS release - Java 17 - is not that far away).
