> Java 11, 17, and 21 in Jenkins - Mark Waite - Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y3RVlniNmz-5Nd3LI-w58LDf760Ai7FqssP4zHuTv8U/edit?usp=sharing> describes plan that has been discussed with Jenkins board and Jenkins officers - Further discussion in this meeting? - Diagram <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gc-0yuYOD5u674qnxbPOWhCU5t9viCJukVj_9b-kwAw/edit#gid=2094671884> that illustrates the transition process to “2+2+2”
I have no comment rights on the google doc but to call this 2+2+2 is confusing. > In order to limit Java support to two LTS releases, the Jenkins project will adopt a “2+2+2” model where a new Java LTS release is supported for two years, then becomes the minimum required Java version for two years, then is unsupported for two years. This is because it is not "unsupported" for 2 years, but rather it is "will not run at all, ever again" due to the minimum java baseline being beyond this unsupported version, thus there is no point mentioning it is unsupported for 2 years - it may as well be unsupported for 1 hour or 1000 years. /James On Monday, September 18, 2023 at 5:41:27 PM UTC+1 Jenkins Developers wrote: > The Jenkins governance board meets today at 6:00 PM UTC on Zoom.
