Hi Sai, Thank you very much for your advice.
At SAS, we would need two separate Geode builds for Java 11 and Java 21 because we still have products with Java 11. So, removing the support of Java 11 is not feasible for our business situation in a foreseeable future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am excited to bring Java21/Jakarta to Geode. You can always create a branch and make changes related to Java21/Jakarta on a feature branch and then when it is ready we can merge to develop. The prior process followed so far is git-flow process and versioning/branching is described here We can continue to keep the feature branches as long as we are ready to merge them to develop and then we can cut a release from develop. From your question, I am assuming you are suggesting Geode to ship different versions based on java versions? If so, at this point with the current community it is not sustainable to ship multiple releases. I would rather work on Java21/jakarta support and bring it into a release and we can discuss if it needs a major release based on the level of changes that are involved. I am open to other perspectives. Sai On Fri, 14 Mar 2025 at 04:18, Jinwoo Hwang <jinwoo.hw...@sas.com.invalid> wrote: > Hello, > > I plan to submit a pull request for supporting Java 21 and Jakarta.
