Deprecate support for JRE 8 (Stage 2) #249

Open ohecker opened 7 months ago

This is a follow up of #247 .

As the product owner of Solicitor I want to make sure that users switch to JRE 11 and we can in near future drop compatibility to JRE 8. This will then enable to update to more recent versions of used components. See e.g. https://github.com/devonfw/solicitor/issues/246.

JRE 8 should be deprecated ASAP using Feature Deprecation Stage 2 (makes Solicitor to abort the run on JRE 8) so that they are forced to become active (activating deprecated features) and review their upgrade path.
