KAFKA-17640: Document Java 23 support and include release note
@fonsdant could you please update the title? Additionally, we don't have CI for JDK 23, so it's not the right time to declare support for Java 23.
Oh, sorry! Of course, I'm going to update the title. I have forgot it. Thanks!
where could I put the release note?
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/docs/upgrade.html#L107
By the way, I don't think this PR can be merged right now due to the previous comment: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/17403#issuecomment-2398647474. Could you please change it to a draft?
@chia7712, rebase done! One question: I have found that Java 11 will be removed in 4.0.0 version, like we can see below:
<h5><a id="upgrade_370_notable" href="#upgrade_370_notable">Notable changes in 3.7.0</a></h5>
<ul>
<li>Java 11 support for the broker and tools has been deprecated and will be removed in Apache Kafka 4.0. This complements
the previous deprecation of Java 8 for all components. Please refer to

</li>
But the 4.0.0 release notes only mentions Java 8 support removal:

I prefer to update the docs after we do remove the JDK 11 from server-side :)
