Hi guys, We have a decision to take re the docker image. Until now we were supporting the arm64v8 architecture. However due to some changes, it's now ony supported with java11. So we have 2 solutions for the tomcat base image to use: 1) stay on java8 and move to the adoptopenjdk base image (so that we get java patches) BUT drop support for arm64v8 architectures 2) move to java11 and move to the adoptopenjdk base image (so that we get java patches) and keep support for arm64v8 archietectures My POV is that we should do 1) since XWiki is supposed to run well on Java11 (it may even be faster on it?) and we want it to work on it anyway. We also test it with our docker tests every week Side note: we could also decide to move to java11 everywhere on our CI agents and keep some tests weekly on java8 (ie invert the current situation) WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

I'm fine with moving the Java 11 on Docker. On Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 9:32 AM Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote:

I'm +1 to move our Docker images to Java 11, however I wouldn't do the change for our CI right now: according to https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2019/java/ java8 is still the most used java version so I'd say it's better to have both version tested (Java11 with docker test and java8 with our standard build) Simon

I meant 2) :) Thanks -Vincent

+1 for the docker package to be on Java 11. It's kind of a no-brainer at this point, as Vincent also mentioned, and I'm not sure which would be the disadvantages of doing so. Re backwards compatibility, I'm not sure that's an issue here, since we're talking about docker containers that you switch entirely (i.e. JVM + server container + etc.). The backwards compatibility discussion is probably more appropriate for the debian/OS-specific packages that need to be upgraded inside the same machine.
