Is this because of EJC going Java 11?
No.
Has anyone reached out to them?
No. Having read the thread I don't think anything we could say would
cause them to reverse their decision.
Why 11?
Because that is the version we use for 10.1.x. We could use any Java
version >=11 that supports release=7.
I assume that 8 will outlive 11 for some time. Java 8 still
seems like a good baseline.
8 doesn't work for Tomcat 8.x. Tomcat 8.x needs to be built against the
Java 7 API. Java 8 can't do that. Java 9+ can. Since we need Java 11 for
Tomcat 10.1.x, that seemed like the natural choice.
