[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-5749) NiFi requirements include "Java 8 or later", but doesn't compile with Java 9

["Andrew Lim (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5749?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16893860#comment-16893860 ] 

Andrew Lim commented on NIFI-5749:
----------------------------------

In the short term, will change from "Java 8 or later" to "Java 8".  Will need to revisit once Java 11 work is complete (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5176).

Filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6491 to improve installation documentation in the longer term.
