what happened to java 17?

Why had java 17 been removed?
That breaks all linux support since not all linux distros has java 21 yet.

and java 17 is not eol until Oct 2027

Like for me its imposible to use then since on my servers even when its fully updated the newest is still only version 17.0.13

what linux distro you are using?

[tanja84dk]

the affected server there runs my ripme is Debian 12 and all servers ( 6 in total ) is a mix of Debian 11 and Debian 12
Also I did try to compile it myself where I lowered it in build.gradle.kts to java 17 and it actually compiles fine ( at least what it looks like ) with openjdk 17

And as you see it here they still only has it in testing and unstable
EDIT forgot the link https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openjdk-21

does istall multiple java verisons work?

otherwise, would this release work for you?

Unfortunately no the ppa recommendation wont work since it has been discontinued for a long time and the one there followed after were just for java 17 before it got in distros

Just tested the pre-release and thank you very much that one worked ( the one there were build with ubuntu java 17 ) and thank you very much ( works just as well as when I tried to build myself where i changed the java in build.gradle.kts )
Actually not sure how that succeeded tbh since I thought the github actions also used the build.gradle.kts

Good suggestion. We've restored Java 17 as the minimum version. Thanks for reporting the issue.
