eclair openJDK 11 end of life

With openJDK end of life about a month away when will eclair transition away from openJDK 11 as recomended runtime?

A few additional info:

I've been using MS openJDK 21 as runtime envirionment for over a year now. So eclair runs perfectly fine on never versions of JVM

Thanks for looking into it! @sstone should we update our documentation (and what else?) to use something else than openJDK11? What do you recommend?

Most JDK 11 distributions will be supported until 2026 at least: Adoptium , Corretto,. ... But since eclair is built against Java 11 it will run on any Java runtime that is compatible with Java 11. For now that would be Java 11, 17 and 21 for which there are LTS versions. The link in our documentation is redirected to https://adoptium.net/ but we should probably update it to say JDK11 or newer instead of JDK11.

according to this table scala 2.13.11 is comapatible with jdk up till 21. https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/jdk-compatibility/overview.html

How about this:

You still build with java 11 You run the tests with java 17

You declare java 11 as deprecated runtime Aou anounce java 17 as recommended runtime

You give people 1 year before you start to build with java 17 and declare java 11 obsolete

Will be fixed by #2929
