> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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).
