Currently Jenkinsfile Runner base images are distributed with Java 8 by default. Also, there is ongoing work on Java 17 support in Jenkins and Jenkinsfile Runner in #569. Once it is shipped, it might make sense to drop Java 8 support. It is also reasonable to switch to Java 11, because Quarkus 2 does no longer support Java 8 and we want to adopt it in #214
Scope
[ ] Document the new Java support policy
[ ] Update the Maven image pack so that there is still a JDK 1.8 edition. It will require bundling two versions in the image
