As a long time user of Tika, I would like to suggest Java 11 should be supported for 3.x. Java 17 is still quite new for Enterprise customers. They have just now started migrating slowly to Java 11.

I've started the branches and started making some changes in this direction. Is it worth pushing this modernization further or faster, with either: a) Jump to Java 17 now and keep Java 8 in 2.x for one more year b) Keep Java 11 in "main"/3.x now and set the EOL for Tika 2.x/Java 8 in say 6 months or fewer? Thank you, all, for your feedback! Best, Tim
