Java 11 is now the recommended version to run Jenkins on (as of a few releases ago).
Consequently, I’d like to upgrade our build server accordingly.
Right now, Jenkins is running on OpenJDK 8, with additional Java 8 and Java 11 installations for running specific jobs.
The upgrade should be straightforward, but may require some Jenkins downtime. The main risk is likely to be if any plugins are incompatible.
So as to not interfere with release activities, I’d like to do this sometime after the upcoming .0 release - late September or early October.
Since the GeoServer 2.20.0 release didn’t go out until mid-October, the timing of this upgrade has been pushed back a bit. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I’m currently targeting the first or second week of November.

I’ve started on this, but it looks like the remote backup is going to take a bit longer than expected - I kicked it off Friday morning and it’s a little less than halfway done (I should’ve used rsync with -z instead of scp, but at this point it’d probably be just as slow to restart it).
Jody - when were you planning on starting on 2.20.1? Given how long this backup is taking, it might make sense to do that before I update the server.

Actually this is a reminder that a release is scheduled for this week, I had hoped to start on Tuesday and be in position to announce on the 18th (our schedule release date).
Thanks to everyone helping squish bug fixes for this release. If there is anything in the works that needs a PR review please speak up.
