Hi,
I also think it is better to support only JDK 11 for GF6.1 (EE9.1).
it is not easy to support both JDK 8 and JDK 11 in the short term.
As we've discussed in the past(*), supporting both JDK 8 and JDK 11 requires special care for all projects, including non-GlassFish projects, due to JDK incompatibilities.
[*] https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/issues/22884
This issue talks about JVM options, but there are other incompatibilities due to JEP220 and JEP320 that require special care.
- JEP220: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220 (Removed: rt.jar and tools.jar)
- JEP320: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/320
Kind regards,
Hiroki

Then only supporting of JDK11 is very reasonable for GF 6.1. I think there is no need to support JDK8.

Hi,
GF6 (EE 9) will stay on JDK 8, but GF6.1 (EE 9.1) will move to at least JDK 11. The entire purpose of EE 9.1 is to introduce JDK 11 support, so there should be at least one implementation that validates that. Of course
we could call it GF 7 if that's more appropriate.
Hi
I am not in favor of supporting both JDK 8 and JDK 11.
Especially, most of the users are not ready for moving to JDK11. Therefore, I prefer to support only JDK8 for GF6.
But for the following major releases, it is perfectly reasonable to support only JDK11 and above.
