Hi All, Currently, we compile and verify Ozone only with Java 8. As far as I know, we haven't tested Ozone either with Java 11 or 17. We should start compiling and testing Ozone with higher versions of Java to make the version upgrade easier in the future.
This will enable us to upgrade the Java version whenever required and deprecate older version(s) of Java if needed. The plan here is to add support to choose the Java version (8, 11 & 17) to compile Ozone. With this, we will have the option to compile and run Ozone with - Java 8 - Java 11 - Java 17 We can also add pre-commit checks to make sure that all the changes made to Ozone work on all the supported Java versions. Note: We will not be able to use new features of Java until we deprecate and remove the older version(s).
