Re: [el-dev] Moving to a minimum of Java 11

Hi,

"Shortly" turned out to be a little longer than I was expecting. I've just pushed this change.

Hi all,

The Jakarta 10 Platform spec is moving to a minimum Java version of Java 11. We can remain on an earlier Java version if we want to but I plan to move the EL API project to Java 11 shortly for the following reasons:

1. We can provide additional, useful information when deprecating the
    use of FeatureDescriptor and other methods from the Java Beans API.

2. We are required to include a module-info.class and adding that is
    simpler with a minimum of Java 9 (and Java 9 and 10 are no longer
    supported).

I am going to start work on this shortly, so if there are any objections please speak up so we can discuss them.

Mark
