[jira] [Updated] (OAK-10001) Bump up minimal Java version to 11

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10001?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Julian Reschke updated OAK-10001:
---------------------------------
    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).
