Move baseline to Java 17
Fixes #348, and some other minor issues as well
Please wait until next week for our SR meeting so we can also discuss this there.
Any update?
We can move once we make final releases to support MP 7.0. Not all implementations are required, but it probably wouldn't hurt to have all components to make a final release with 11 before moving to 17.
Maybe we should do a Parent update to 17 first, release, and then here?
The parent doesn't really need to change until there are no consumers left which rely on 11 AFAICT. I don't think it makes sense to block on it at any rate.
Now that 2.8.0 was released, what do we think about moving this forward?
Per conversations, I'm going ahead with this. If there is a specific problem, please let me know (I'm on Zulip).
