GS3 Discussion:

how 2 help?
- ImageN is a lot Java development right now
- Including ImageN in GeoServer 2.28 is going to be a big help
Please review PRs as GeoTools and GeoServer adjust to API change
- example JAI-Tools removal PRs
- Java 17 proposals below
Is JAI used in other fields or just by GeoTools?
- Yes but not yet

Java 17 Proposal

Proposal is split in two phases. Phase 1 is updating the build to Java 17 (incl. github actions and Jenkins builds for the main branch). Phase 2 is applying the OpenRewrite recipe to upgrade the code base to Java 17 (e.g. replace multiline string literals using concatenation by text blocks, instanceof improvements, etc.)

Links:

Notes:

ErrorProne is catching so many more things in Java17
- Resolve by applying the OpenRewrite refactor will address may of those
  - improved instance of
  - text blocks rather than string concatenation
Please vote! Edit, or on discourse.
