Team's Response

The constraint states that it should work on Java 17. It does not state that it should not work on other versions. Our app states that it works on Java 17 or higher. Since working on Java 17 is a subset of what we stated (working on 17 OR higher), this does not violate the constraint.

Furthermore, since Java is backwards compatible, if it works on Java 17, it is also expected to work on higher versions. Hence, it does not make sense to limit the java version to use to 17.
