[Geoserver-devel] Outdated native JAI section in manual

There is a section of the manual entitled (confusingly) - Outdated: install native JAI and ImageIO extensions - should this just be deleted if it is outdated? or does it need some clarification?

It is more that it is Java 8 specific; and we now recommend using Jai-ext. It has so many clarifications it is causing confusion, there was a recent user list discussion about this.
I think this section should be divided up into “Java 8” and “Java 11”.

To de-emphasis the JAI-EXT stuff we could link to a similar section in the geotools manual, and present it as a choice between using JAI-EXT (recommended) or JAI / ImageIO native libraries.
