Indicate that we support java 17

[vmassol]

Hi devs,

Thomas has fixed this morning Loading... (solved by Loading...). This was the last known blocker for supporting java 17 (the remaining issue has a workaround using --add-opens). I propose to:

• Remove the warning in the start_xwiki.sh file:

  if [ "$JAVA_VERSION" -gt 11 ]; then
   read -p "You're using Java $JAVA_VERSION which XWiki doesn't fully support yet. Continue (y/N)? " -n 1 -r
   if [[ ! $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
     exit 0
   fi
  fi
  ```
  

• Update https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SupportStrategy/JavaSupportStrategy/#HByXWikiVersions to indicate that we support Java 17 starting with XWiki 15.3/14.10.9

WDYT?

Thanks

Update Java Support Strategy - XWiki to indicate that we support Java 17 starting with XWiki 15.3

You mean after the release / test session I guess?

It’s already been tested (but it doesn’t matter since the code change will be on master/14.10.x and the doc will say 15.3/14.10.9)

Since I was working on it, I’ve now done:

• https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SupportStrategy/JavaSupportStrategy/?viewer=changes&rev1=9.3&rev2=10.1&
• [Misc] Update minimal java version to 11 + add warning only when java… · xwiki/xwiki-platform@b107a98 · GitHub & [Misc] Update minimal java version to 11 + add warning only when java… · xwiki/xwiki-platform@efb0ca6 · GitHub

I can rollback if someone disagrees.

Thanks

|XWiki >= 15.3|Java 11 & Java 17|Java 11

Shouldn’t it mention also 14.10.9+ ?

Yes, done just before your message (Had forgotten initially)
