Is there any plan to have Java 17 support?

[a1shadows]

Currently, the helloworld project does not build successfully on mvn clean install with java 17. I tried writing a few custom tests which don't seem to work.

Is there any plan/mandate to update dependencies so that project runs successfully on java 17 to which we can contribute?

I would like to contribute, too.

Hello,

we're using zerocode on our project with java 17 with no issues (except additional --add-opens args for compilation) Here you can find some snippet: https://github.com/infoShare/zerocode-example

Thank you

Thanks, we'll try and use this. But shouldn't we not have to override warnings to get the code to run? I think eventually the deprecated libraries currently used will have to be upgraded. If that is a direction that we want to look into, I would love to contribute. We plan to use Zerocode long term in our org. @authorjapps can you comment?

I think eventually the deprecated libraries currently used will have to be upgraded.

@a1shadows , I think 1st step is to upgrade the libraries to latest and make it runnable in Java8.

		|(1)------------> java8 releases (existing java8 users)
		|
(currently)------

Then, we need to fork it out to a separate path for java17 release.

		|(1)------------> java8 releases (existing java8 users)
		|
(next)-----------
		|
		|(2)-----------> java17 release (users with java17 sdk)

I will raise raise a milestone for this soon, with tickets for 1st steps and next steps.

Please vote if it sounds correct.
