Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Java SE 8 or 11 for Jakarta EE 9?
|
As a user of the Jakarta EE technologies (yay! we're on Jakarta EE 8,
and run fully on Java 11), I wouldn't mind if the Jakarta EE 9 would
require Java 8 as a minimum. As long as it doesn't preclude us from
running our preferred application server on Java 11 and beyond. Should
that make both Java 8 and Java 11 be requirements, we don't mind.
As long as the migration is short, without breaking stuff--other than
the package rename. What happens with Jakarta EE 10 and beyond is
another worthwhile discussion.
Looking forward to learn more about the plans...
