[DISCUSS] Proposed Java 17 Upgrade for Apache Synapse 3.0.3

[Thisara Weerakoon <th...@apache.org>]

Hi everyone,

As we prepare for the upcoming Apache Synapse 3.0.3  release, I would like
to propose an important update. Currently, the project is on Java 8. To
substantially enhance the overall security and future-proof the product, I
believe it would be highly beneficial to migrate to Java 17.

Undertaking this upgrade now will require additional time and testing.
Therefore, I would like to ask the community, *Shall we delay the 3.0.3
release to incorporate the upgrade to Java 17?*

Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks,
Thisara Weerakoon
