| Re: [rest-dev] Drop Minimum Java Requirement to Java 17 |
PMD already solved this problem in https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/4638 so I expect there will be a PMD release before JAX-RS 4 is published. Hence, looking at our own deadline, I rate this as a non-issue. -Markus Von: Mohamed M. El-Beltagy [mailto:melbeltagy@xxxxxxxxx] Hi, I just thought of sharing a use case for your discussion that supports Java 17 over 21. Not all static code analysis tools support Java 21.
In my case, I had to step down to Java 17 due to PMD 7. Just to clarify, I am not using Jakarta REST directly nor will be affected by your decision here. P.s., I would really love to actually move to Java 21 in my current project and I am all in with using Java 21 instead of 17 in your decision, but real life has it's own rules.

If yes, running on Java SE 17 seems like we would get the most adoption. Frankly spoken: For those willing to move to JDK 21, yes. For that want or must stick with JDK 17, I have no problem to restrict them to JAX-RS 3.1. -Markus _______________________________________________ |
