Re: Supported JVMs
The statement that 4.x is archived should tell you that it is no longer supported even on Java 1.3 but perhaps that could be more explicit.

Re: Supported JVMs
The current information might encourage new users who look at the tested and supported versions and decide that Jackrabbit can not be used in their application because they are targeting Java 9 or 10 (Spring 2018 release- months away!) for their new application. It may be more important to identify the minimum JVM required. If a Jackrabbit version includes use of Java 8 or Java 9 features, it will be important to say that it will not run on a lower version. Could you add a comment "known to be running on Java N" to each version to identify versions that are in use in production or application development on a JVM that is not supported or tested? A bit more definite than "expected" which implies that it has not be tried yet. For example I have been using Jackrabbit 2.14 on Java 8 for a long time without any issues. I have been upgrading Jackrabbit and Java versions independently and have not seen any issues. Having this info on a separate page where users might feel more free to add comments about their actual experience with different JVMs is a good idea. The page should have a paragraph asking people to add comments about their experience (good and bad) with untested or unsupported JVM versions. Comments from early adopters of new JVMs might also be helpful to the Jackrabbit developers in identifying areas that need work to support newer JVMs. Ron On 14/12/2017 6:27 AM, Davide Giannella wrote: Good morning, while looking at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jcr/downloads.html I can see that we have a sort-of matrix for supported jvms.

Supported JVMs
Good morning, while looking at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jcr/downloads.html I can see that we have a sort-of matrix for supported jvms. However stating something like _Java 7 and later_ implies that we run test coverage on java9 as well; which is not true.

Oak 1.7.13 release plan
Hello team, I'm planning to cut Oak on Monday 18th. If there are any objections please let me know. Otherwise I will re-schedule any non-resolved issue for the next iteration. Please note that this is our last unstable cut. After the winter break I will be branching and releasing 1.8.0 and therefore I will reschedule as part of this release any non-blockers for 1.8.0. If you want to have something by 1.7.13 please make it a blocker. Thanks Davide
