Drop Java 11 support (OD-1107)

Robin Shen opened 3 years ago

Java 11 is going to reach EOF shortly, and a lot of modern Java software are already moved over to Java 16/17 which is the next major supported Java version.

When do you plan on dropping support for 11 and updating like recommended by Java developers?

@polarian Java 11 is still mainstream in the wild. You virtually can not see any Java library not supporting Java 11. When the mainstream shifts to Java 17, OneDev will catch up with that.

I thought mainstream already is switching, I have read a lot of projects were moving...

Then again JVMs support backwards compatibility as far as I am aware, but Java 14 have some nice syntax improvements which I assume is why people updating.

Firstly, wow the numbers were a lot different than I thought.

Secondly, one of the reasons I made this issue is because I wanted to test out making issues with emails, hint it worked :P
