> Several of the dependabot updates fail on Java 8 because of newer versions of plugins needing Java 11 or Java 17 to run.

> [206|https://github.com/apache/avro/actions/runs/4197990575/jobs/7281026269#step:7:207]java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/api/AuditListener has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0{code}
> My proposal is to restructure the java maven build as follows:
> # The build requires Java 17 (or 11 if the next statement is incorrect)
> ## This means all plugins should work again.
> # The compiler must create Java 8 compatible classes (source=8, release=8)
> # To ensure it actually runs on all Java versions a basic set of tests are executed with all LTS Java versions (8, 11 and 17) and the newest intermediate (currently 19)
> #- Similar to what I have done here

> #-- https://github.com/nielsbasjes/yauaa/tree/main/analyzer/src/it/JavaPlain
> #-- https://github.com/nielsbasjes/ToolChainsInCiBuilds
> Additional things
> - The build environment for developers change which requires updated  documentation and docker build.
