Did Jersey 3.1.4 remove support for JDK 11?

[dangmai]

Hello,

Based on what I'm reading, it looks like Jersey 3.1.4 is supposed to be used alongside Jetty 12. However, as far as I know Jetty 12 only supports JDK >= 17, while Jersey 3.1.3 does support JDK 11. I didn't expect a patch version upgrade to remove support for a major JDK version, but maybe that's just my own ignorance here. Could you clarify that please? Thank you!

I'm currently using embedded Jetty 11 with Jersey 3.1.3 in my project for context. I'd like to update to 3.1.4 purely for the Jackson upgrade that fixes a security vulnerability, but it looks like that's not an option if I want to keep supporting JDK 11 for my users.

Hello @dangmai,
the JDK 11 support is not removed, to keep Jetty 11 connector available, there is new module jersey-jetty11-connector which allows to continue usage of the Jetty connector with JDK 11. However if you use Jetty 11 embedded container, I would recommend to wait until the 3.1.5 is released, there will be jersey-container-jetty11-http module as well (in the 3.1.4 it is temporary disabled)

I see, thank you for the explanation!

the 3.1.5 release is out, so you can use both modules jersey-jetty11-connector and/or jersey-container-jetty11-http
