[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-30501) Update Flink build instruction to deprecate Java 8 instead of requiring Java 11

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30501?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17695105#comment-17695105 ] 

Dong Lin commented on FLINK-30501:
----------------------------------

[~zhongpu314] I will upload a PR to fix the doc so that it is consistent with the existing behavior of Flink.

> Flink 1.15 and later versions require at least Java 11 to build from sources [1], whereas the pom.xml specifies the source/target is 1.8. 
> This is inconsistent. We update our doc to mention that Java 8 is deprecated instead of saying that Java 11 is required.
> The statement "Fink requires at least Java 11 to build" was added in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25247. However the JIRA title only says "Inform users about deprecation". And the PR was not approved by any committer other than the PR author.
