Julian Reschke updated OAK-10001:
---------------------------------
Description:
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).
Potential downsides:
- backports to 1.22 might become harder (1.8 will be EOLd next spring anyway).
