Manfred Baedke updated OAK-11952:
---------------------------------
Summary: Bump up minimal Java version to 17 (was: CLONE - Bump up minimal
Java version to 17)
> Bump up minimal Java version to 17
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: OAK-11952
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-11952
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parent
> Reporter: Julian Reschke
> Assignee: Julian Reschke
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.50.0
>
>
> 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).
