Governance Topics

  • Require Java 17 in Jenkins weekly - mailing list thread
    • JEP is coming this week
      • Include all the technical details of the design
      • Multi-phase approach
        • Require Java 17
        • Upgrade to Jetty 12 EE 8
        • Upgrade 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
    • Require Java 17 in Jenkins weekly June 18, 2024
      • More time to complete Spring Security upgrade to 6.x
        • Reduce risk, increase efficiency by allowing long patch chains to merge earlier
      • Retains same Java versions for LTS releases
        • Jun 11, 2024 - require Java 11 in weekly - 2.462
        • Jun 18, 2024 - require Java 17 in weekly - 2.463
        • Aug 7, 2024 - require Java 11 - 2.462.1 (?)
        • Sep 4, 2024 - require Java 11 - 2.462.2 (?)
        • Oct 2, 2024 - require Java 11 - 2.462.3 (?)
        • Oct 30, 2024 - require Java 17 - 2.476.1 (?)
      • New blog post that shares this decision (yes, good) (5 of 5)
        • Basil will write the blog post (action item)
      • Update the admin monitor in weekly
    • Choose LTS baseline June 26, 2024 (won’t choose June 18 as baseline)
