Update installation instructions to install latest Java LTS version #2368

Closed sanderploegsma closed 10 months ago

sanderploegsma commented 11 months ago

Currently the installation instructions shown to users tell them to install Java 11. However, active support for Java 11 is going to end soon (source), so we should probably update the instructions to point to the latest LTS release instead. At the time of writing this is Java 21.

Note: this is probably not a good idea until we support Java 21 in the test runner: https://github.com/exercism/java-test-runner/issues/65

The Java test runner has been updated to support Java 21.

if it's acceptable to proceed with the direct documentation update or if there are specific guidelines or procedures for making such changes in the project. @sanderploegsma

In general make sure you read the contribution guidelines, both the Exercism guides as well as the track-specific guides are linked in the project’s README.

Other than that feel free to open a PR addressing this issue. The Java installation instructions on Exercism are sourced from this file: https://github.com/exercism/java/blob/main/docs/INSTALLATION.md
