Re: [faces-dev] Minimum Java for Faces 5.0
Hi,

I see some vendors still supporting Java 11 for another year and others for longer with extended support.  I don't disagree that it would be good to move to something newer.

As for the other question,  EE11 must certify on 21, but specs are allowed to use an earlier Java level, such as 11 or 17.
For example,  websocket 2.2 lists Java 8: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/websocket/2.2/

If we select Java 11, others can still build against 17 or 21.  It’s only a minimum. I just wanted a consensus. 

Best,
Volodymyr

Hi, 

I understood Jakarta EE 11 was going to use Java 21? I was already planning to update the Mojarra repo to use Java 21 this weekend.

Cheers, B

Hello Volodymyr,

Not exactly why Java17 was selected, but it actually make sense, giving that Java11 have reached end of life.

Thanks,
Edwin.

Hello,

The project plan states that Faces 5.0 will use Java SE 17 (or higher) as its minimum Java version.

Will the APIs use Java 17 features? Can someone provide more background why 17 was selected?  I ask since MyFaces may want to stay on Java 11.

Thank you,

Volodymyr
