Java 11 Support and Software Site

[jmenzies12]

Hey there,

We are currently using openpdf 1.1.0 and are about to upgrade to java 11. Is it possible to run and build in java 11 with this version or will we have to update to get compatibility?

Also, by any chance do you have a software site we can use to download the release from? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I couldn't find a forum link or contact details anywhere.

Cheers Jonathan

Thanks for that!

Could you tell me if version 1.1.0 is compatible to be built on Java 11 ?

Looks like the CI builds are running on 8,11 and 16.

I'm running it on 17 without issue.

Hey sorry just wanted to clarify, you are running openpdf 1.1.0 on Java 17 ?

I couldn't see what version the CI builds are running on so I presume they are running on a recent version

[codylerum]

Running 1.3.26 on JDK 17.

1.1.0 is a 3 year old release so you may want to get that updated first.

You can see versions https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/blob/master/.github/workflows/maven.yml#L16

Or from recent builds in actions https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/actions/runs/1514668628

@jmenzies12 Is there a specific reason preventing you from upgrading to the most recent version? I suggest that you try with Java 11 and then verify if everything works as expected. I was able to compile and run some basic tests with the tag 1.0.1. However, I recommend that you upgrade if possible.

OpenPDF now requires Java 11.
