    Description

      Active support for Java 8 ended a few months ago (see https://endoflife.date/java).

      Java 11 has been available for four years, and offers various improvements (in particular, it contains extensions that may help in avoiding use of Guava (see OAK-7182)).

      (Note that even Java 11 will be out of active support in a few months - so a subsequent update to the next LTS release - Java 17 - is not that far away).

      Potential downsides:

      • backports to 1.22 might become harder (1.8 will be EOLd next spring anyway).
