IMHO there should be a Java 8 compatible release for these people, as some may

[Freecol-developers] Java version bump
The recent bump to Java 9 is probably not ideal, as it is not a Long Term Supported release. Indeed it is nominally already unsupported... not that suport from Oracle is all that impressive. Nevertheless with my Security Person Hat on, I would be more comfortable with a bump to a LTS release, which would be Java 11 (expires March 2023) or Java 17 (expires September 2026). Any thoughts, particularly regarding what is currently available on Windows and Macs? I can vouch for both 11 and 17 being easy to run on linux.

Re: [Freecol-developers] Java version
Sorry for the concern I just remember reading a license change on oracle jre and jdk as of java 11 i belive it was. Great game nice to see development still on going :) Wish I had time to play more :) Jonathan Aquilina On Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 9:38 AM Michael T.

If someone wants to build it on openjdk, oracle Java, or shark-mounted-laser Java that is fine. We do specify a minimum Java language version, because we are primarily concerned with making code + artwork + game resources rather than packaging. That said, we have traditionally distributed freecol packaged for various platforms from the website as a convenience. The .jar files there are built with whatever-the-release-manager-is-using Java.

I am pretty sure we have people running our .jar or derivatives on non-openjdk run time environments, which is good.

Re: [Freecol-developers] Java version
Hi Michael, I think there needs to be a bit of caution here as I think there has been a major paradigm shift in licensing of java. Jonathan Aquilina On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 1:57 PM Michael T.

[Freecol-developers] Java version
Quick heads up. According to wikipedia at least, Java 8 is scheduled to be updated for the last time in December this year, so we should probably move to Java 11 (the next one that has long term support) around then. The good news is that today while trying to find an out of memory bug when testing large maps, I built FreeCol on an Ubuntu 18.04 box where Java 11 was installed by default. There were three small problems, now fixed. So I anticipate that the move will be trouble free.
