Can you say some more about what extra work you expect removing jdk8 to cause? I'd expect removing jdk8 to be mostly subtractive (from build.xml and circleci confs), and jdk17 support to be mostly additive.
We're getting ready to merge the first set of accord integration patches, and the accord library requires java11+. My understanding is that jdk17 support in C* is still several months away, so if we can avoid making one a dependency on the other, that would be preferable. > On Aug 29, 2022, at 2:01 PM, Brandon Williams <dri...@gmail.com> wrote: > > +1 for removing it when we add 17, to avoid making extra work. > > Kind Regards, > Brandon > > On Mon, Aug 29, 2022 at 3:40 PM Blake Eggleston <beggles...@apple.com> wrote: >> >> Sorry, I meant trunk, not 4.1 :) >> >>> On Aug 29, 2022, at 1:09 PM, Blake Eggleston <beggles...@apple.com> wrote: >>> >>> Hi all, I wanted to propose removing jdk8 support for 4.1.
