Re: [DISCUSS] Move trunk (3.0) to Java 11
Am 23.11.21 um 08:35 schrieb sahy...@fileaffairs.de: Hi, what about setting Java 11 as a minimum requirement for trunk, upcoming 3.0 release? Not that we have to use classes/constructs... from Java 11 but as Java 8 is outdated declaring Java 11 as a minimum requirement will have the benefit that moving forward we won't need a major release if we'd like to switch to Java 11 during the 3.0 livecycle. Thoughts? As long as we don't use any Java 11 feature I don't see any reason to change the minimum requirement. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of PDFBox users who are still on Java 8 and those would be able to use PDFBox anymore without manually recompiling it. I'm one of those users. On the other hand it is important to ensure Java 11 or higher compatibility if possible to support those users running PDFBox in a more recent runtime environment. Tilman is already addressing this topic by maintaining a couple of jenkins jobs using different JDKs.
