> The community seems in favor of adopting JDK 21 and migrating the code base 
> to it. Multiple reasons for it:
>  * JDK 11 reached officially EOL 
>  * JDK 21 is the latest LTS
>  * multiple new features like records (bye bye boilerplates on POJOs), 
> pattern matching, better GC, better thread management, ...
> Few things to keep in mind as well:
>  * should we switch our modules to Jigsaw modules?
>  * should we maintain a JDK11 version in parallel for letting time for 
> everybody to do the switch?
> How:
>  * ADR explaining the change
>  * switch the JDK to 21 in the code base
>  * modify the code to get a green build with minimal changes first
>  * update documentation accordingly
>  * can refactoring things little by little after (like switching to records 
> for POJOs for example)
