Re: [DISCUSS] Torque v8 and Java 21

Hi Georg,

I'm not a torque user, so I have no stake in this.
I'm just wondering what the motivation is?

Often, libraries tend to be intentionally slow with updating 
requirements (e.g. required Java version). I'm just guessing but many 
projects that require torque may be stuck on older Java version?
What are the advantages of upgrading to Java 21?

Again, don't let me stop you, I have no stake in this, just some 
thoughts from my side :-)

Best,
Til
