Hi Paul,
Thanks, that’s great to hear! There was some concern expressed a while back that it might be impossible to move past Java 8 because of a change to the way classes are loaded. I’m definitely glad that turned
out not to be the case!
Take care,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I’ve been trying to research (old messages, Google, etc.), but I don’t think I’ve found anything definitive.
I know at least at one point there was an issue migrating past Java 8, due to the way WOnder patches/extends Apple’s frameworks. Has that been resolved or worked around? We would like to totally get rid of
Java 8, and move to Java 11 (or 17, or 21…).
Plenty of people have moved beyond Java 8. We've been using Java 21 since soon after it was released. About the only thing you'll need to do is add some JVM options in
build.properties, such as:
jvmOptions=--add-exports
java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports
java.base/sun.util.calendar=ALL-UNNAMED
I'm struggling to think of much else that was required. It was certainly an easier transition than I thought it was going to be.
