Version 3.13.0 built against JDK 17 and throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 61 #131

Guys,

Since version 3.13.0 switched to JDK 17 any project that is still on JDK 11 or earlier that uses transitive dependencies throws an error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 61 Maybe it would be better to increment the major version for such a change, like, starting with 4.*? Workarounds: Users to define explicitly lib version 3.12.300 as the latest which still on JDK 11

No I don’t think that is better. Pretty much all bundles switched the BREE to Java 17 for the 4.28 release and such BREE changes are not API breaking so do not require a major version increment. That didn’t happen when the BREE was charged to Java 11 either. And it can’t be unpublished from Maven in any case.
