Java versioning

Hi _^

I usually keep to the latest java version, because I like using the new features!

But I did some light contextual testing (user story stuff) and found that a lot of pre-built server jars are not necessarily on the latest java.

This usually causes classpath issues which I think could be a block for why people haven't started using the plugin (as it appears to not work).

Is there a sweet spot or convention I should stick to? Like, for example

  • to stick 5 major releases behind, or
  • stick to the next most backwards compatible release

Also, how do you check yourself in this lonely period; before you have actual server owners/testers providing these reports/feedback?
