We have no measurements (that I am aware) of what portion of administrators currently running Java 8 would refuse to switch to 11 if a newer version of Jenkins required it, and would instead elect to stay on an older Jenkins release (and older plugins) indefinitely. Anyway, I think the point is that Jenkins core currently supports Java 8, and so any commonly used plugin needs to support it as well unless and until that changes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
