[jira] [Commented] (DAFFODIL-2747) Add GitHub action to support macOS

["John Interrante (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2747?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17631699#comment-17631699 ] 

John Interrante commented on DAFFODIL-2747:
-------------------------------------------

I propose that we run only one job on the macOS runner (that is, we don't test Java 8, 11, and 17 since that would be redundant with the Linux and Windows runners already testing Java 8, 11, and 17). I have been using Java 11 as my machine's Java runtime up to now, but googling makes me think our choice really should be between Java 8 (if we want to support the most widely used Java runtime) or Java 17 (if we want to support the current LTS version and Java 17 was released over 1 year ago, so it's had enough time to fix bugs and become a stable runtime). Shall we test only Java 17 on the macOS runner?
