Actions
-
Jenkins Java 11 Upgrade (delayed)
Waiting for 2.20.1 release, which is done. Backup wrapping up (remote
backup).
Then should be good to go.
Idea:
-
Ask for more space on server; 500 GB total
-
cite jobs may need clean up
-
jobs with local repo try to store in workspace, can we exclude
repositories?
Aside: windows installer permissions should be fixed (was unable to delete)
Meeting Time Discussion (continued)
Change to CEST timezone so we do not have to update twice a year … Tested
for this meeting, seems to work fine.
Java 17 support
There is a PR, wow! Thanks bjornharrtell and aaime 
-
geotools is … done/merged and PR check in place
-
geoserver .. a few “opens” added for java base packages
-
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/5248
-
opens are needed to build, for example xstream needs access to
everything
-
marlin:
-
mentioned in
-
adoptium temurin Java 8 - now includes Marlin
https://adoptium.net/migration.html “Work is planned at Adoptium to
either backport Marlin to OpenJDK 8 and/or minimize any display issues
between the two.” ← this is now complete
EOL dates for Java versions <https://adoptium.net/support.html>\.
Propose officially migrating to Java 17/Jakarta packages by end of 2022 /
GeoServer 2.22.0 Release.
Will need Spring
<https://spring.io/blog/2021/09/02/a-java-17-and-jakarta-ee-9-baseline-for-spring-framework-6>,
Wicket to use Jakarta as well for the Jakarta part.
-
Spring is targeting Q4 2022, so this timeline may be infeasible
-
Wicket support is in progress
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6882> , targeting Wicket
10.0.0
Now that GeoTools is supporting Java 17, we should add a Java 17 runtime to
Jenkins.
Also add info to the GeoTools compatibility matrix.

work. But need more detail ...
