Hi! I have no strong preference on either 17 or 21. Last time we discussed it, IIRC, consensus was on 17, but I was wondering if there was appetite for upgrading to 21, given that 25 is out now.
For me 21 means more features, but it's totally fine for me to stay on JDK-17. Similar question could be asked for the tomcat version, but I can imagine the general feeling :-) If there is no real need of newer versions, staying a bit behind means more actual places where JSPWiki can be deployed.
