- Spring Security 6.x Upgrade - mailing list thread
- JEP
- Include all the technical details of the design
- Multi-phase approach
- Require Java 17
- Upgrade Jetty 10 to Jetty 12 EE 8
- Upgrade Jetty 12 EE 8 to Jetty 12 EE 9
- Intentionally multi-phase to reduce risk
- Biggest challenge
- When do we require Java 17 for plugin developers?
- Desirable for core maintainers to do that sooner
- Once we’re on Jetty 12 EE 8 or Jetty 12 EE 9
- Balance the time of change
- Don’t want to force plugin developers to recent LTS
- Likely compromise on both sides
- Plugin developers using latest weekly may need to add items to pom until it is available in parent
- May drop support for older LTS lines sooner than usual
- Similar to what we did in Java 11 transition
- Watch for the balance and the compromises between concerns
- Not yet clear exactly where balance will be reached
- Likely needs another blog post for Java 17 plugin development
- Similar to Java 11 pattern
- Decisions on those questions as we learn more
- When do we require Java 17 for plugin developers?
- Require Java 17 in Jenkins weekly June 18, 2024
