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

We should definitely go for a minimum of 17 as OpenJDK 11 has already reached EOL at 30 sep 2023 and 17 is the next LTS with planned EOL of 30 sep 2026.

I'm personally in favor of going to 21 directly as EE11 will support it. But I'm also fine with 17 if MyFaces favors it. Unless we find something really useful for Faces in Java 21. But so far I'm not seeing it. How about we set it to Java 17 for now and watch as Faces 5.0 progresses and keep the option open to bump further to 21 if some new useful Faces feature demands it?

Cheers, B

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.

Some Jakarta EE 11 Specifications such as Concurrency are planning to use Java 21 features.  Is Faces 5.0 planned to use any Java 21 or Java 17 features?  

IMO, it is fine for the Faces 5.0 SPEC API + TCK to be compiled with Java 21 as long as the bytecode is targeted to the version required for the Faces 5.0 feature set.  If Faces 5.0 will only have Java 11 features in its SPEC API, the target bytecode version could be set to Java 11.  Is there some other reason besides the minimum required Faces 5.0 feature set that would be used for choosing the bytecode version target?

The above applies to all Jakarta EE specifications.  Hope this helps.

Scott

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
