Closed flanaras closed 1 year ago

flanaras commented 3 years ago

This project runs on old libraries and technologies. I would like to motivate to bring it up to date, including

update gradle :heavy_check_mark: #70
- support Java 11
- use library and implementation directives instead of compile
update dependencies
- gradle plugins
- java libraries
- Spring related
- multi branch for different versions of Spring?
update Java (Java 11 is supported in Spring Boot 2.1).
support JUnit 5
support Java 11 modules
update readme

Many people still use Java 8. So for an open source project it makes sense to keep JDK 8 as minimum requirment.

You are right, what we can do is compile with Java 11 and set targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8, to support Java 8 but be able to adapt to newer Java versions.
