Java 17 not supported due to jdk8 docker image used

[costea32]

Hello, I'm trying to release a project built with java 17 but the docker image used by the orb is cimg/openjdk:8.0 can this be upgraded to a higher version or at least provided options for choosing which image to use?

I haven't tried this myself, but perhaps you can override the default executor by setting your own executor?

indeed, it was not very clear initially how to do this but in the end here is the example that worked:

version: 2.1
orbs:
  circleci-maven-release-orb: sonatype-nexus-community/circleci-maven-release-orb@0.0.16

executors:
  openjdk17:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/openjdk:17.0

workflows:
  version: 2.1

  release:
    jobs:
      - test
      - circleci-maven-release-orb/run-maven-release:
          requires:
            - test
          ssh-fingerprints: '<fingerprint here>'
          executor: openjdk17
