Users should strictly have Java 11 to run the app.

[ryanlimdx]

In the user guide, it is mentioned that users have to have Java 11 or above installed. However, in the course specifications, the java version should be limited to java 11. This may cause the app to malfunction (if features are deprecated for example, if users are on later versions of java).

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

The feedback is factually wrong, the application will work on java versions >=11. It's worth noting that java is backwards compatible.

## :question: Issue response Team chose [`response.Rejected`] - [x] I disagree **Reason for disagreement:** The course website should be followed, as this is a course project. Specifically, it is mentioned in the screenshot of the course website that "i.e. no other Java version installed". The user guide mentioning Java 11 or above misleads the user into thinking otherwise. By contravening the course constraints, this brings into question the credibility of the group in following course instructions as well. Furthermore, Java is not necessarily backwards compatible. From a quick search, the latest Java version has incompatibilities with Java 11 ("some incompatible changes", under "Compatibility"). As such, these uncertainties should be minimised as much as possible to prevent the user from running into problems.
