Re: Question - JDK Minimum of future Apache Maven 4.0.0
Folks who think like that have been using Scala or Kotlin for at least 5 years by now. If you are still writing Java, it isn't for new features. Hunter PS If you want to use "new features" use Scala or Kotlin. If you want stability, use Java8. Using Java17 is a middle ground that gets nobody anything they way. That's why are having a hard time naming a new feature you want/need.

+1 I really don't what benefit we get from going to Java 17 I perfectly see the impact we'll have on our users: for what benefit? notice that this will also impact all plugins: and given the few work done on plugins to clearly show what plugin version remains compatible with a JDK release, I feel we're not taking the topic the right way Le vendredi 2 juin 2023, 01:50:53 CEST Hunter C Payne a écrit : > I'm not sure I would worry too much about that David.
