Forcing usage of caffeine 2.x about jena HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @rjrudin - I take it you recompiled parts of the source code. Jena4 as released is compiled for Java11.

The project policy is "last two LTS versions". Jena5 will require Java17.

The project has to find a balance with the limited resources available. It also has to remain interesting for the contributors.

It isn't a matter of simply creating a branch because security issues must be dealt with across all active artifacts that the project produces. Some of the dependencies no longer support Java8. Remaining on old versions of dependencies isn't sustainable because of addressing vulnerabilities reported in CVEs.

I don't remember that having been a lot of activity to convert existing code to use any Java11 language features.
Jena4 jena-arq does use Java11 java.net.http. Jena4 uses Eclipse Jetty10 which requires Java11.

Thanks @afs - my mistake too as while I had changed the Gradle settings, I was still testing with Java 11 and thus everything worked fine. Totally understand about requiring Java 11 or higher. I'll close this as my question was based on my error.
