The Scala development community has decided to upgrade the minimum JDK version for Scala 3 to JDK 17, effective with Scala 3.8 and the upcoming LTS, likely Scala 3.9. Feedback did not reveal significant reasons to retain JDK 11, which is now consider outdated. Transitioning to JDK 17 is expected to benefit users with new APIs and features. This change is specific to future minor versions and will not affect the Scala 3.3 LTS line, which will remain on JDK 8 for Scala 2.
Scala 3 will switch to JDK 17 as the new minimum version starting with Scala 3.8, moving away from JDK 11 to embrace newer APIs and VM features.
The transition from JDK 11 to 17 is deemed straightforward, with JDK 11 becoming increasingly outdated while JDK 17 aligns with mainstream standards.
