I don't know a whole lot about Java 7 vs 8 vs 11, but wouldn't that make the most sense? 7->8 is one version upgrade, 7->11 is 4.
- pilif 8y ago9, 10 and 11 are following a new release schedule of timed releases (every 6 months), whereas 8 was still a traditional feature release. I would say that aside of the module system that came with a huge list of now inaccessible internal methods that a lot of dependencies relied on even though they shouldn’t have, there was even more change between 7 and 8 than there was between 8 and 11
- Freak_NL 8y agoYeah, Oracle changed what one major version upgrade meant from JDK 8 onwards. For production purposes JDK 9 and 10 effectively don't exist.
