I'd like to update java-common to OpenJDK 21, basically uploading the
package from experimental to unstable. In the past, Emmanuel was
leading these updates, but he told me privately that he doesn't have
much time in the near future doing that. The transition was finished
for Ubuntu earlier this year (thanks Vladimir), and most, if not all
patches should be in the Debian bug tracker.
I've uploaded some updates prepared by Vladimir and Pushkar today and
yesterday. Kudos for the outstanding work, the patches cover most of the
remaining Java 21 issues, are well documented and were forwarded upstream.
There are 17 patches left to apply [1], most of them are for minor
packages or packages not maintained by the Java Team. The most important
ones are kotlin and lombok in my opinion. Once they are fixed I think we
can switch the default JDK to OpenJDK 21.
After the transition I'd suggest keeping the openjdk-17 package in
unstable only, that may be useful for upgrading Gradle and Kotlin.
