[Deprecation] JDK 8/9/10 Support State

[silug]

Summary

Master service categorizes JDK 8/9/10 as :deprecated and logs upgrade warnings.

Evidence

• src/clj/puppetlabs/services/master/master_service.clj:84 and :85 classify Java 8/9/10 versions as :deprecated.
• src/clj/puppetlabs/services/master/master_service.clj:95 logs: JDK {version} is deprecated, please upgrade to JDK 11, 17 or 21.

Proposed OpenVox Server 9 Change

• Decide and publish Java support policy for OpenVox Server 9.
• If policy permits: remove deprecated status for 8/9/10 and treat as unsupported.

Compatibility / Risk

• Potentially high risk depending on installed Java versions in user environments.
• Requires policy-level decision and release communication.

Implementation Notes

• Coordinate with packaging/docs/runtime checks.
• Ensure tests and CI matrix match supported Java versions.

Acceptance Criteria

• Java support matrix is explicit for OpenVox Server 9.
• Runtime messages and status endpoint behavior align with policy.
• Deprecated-but-still-running ambiguity is removed.

Suggested Tests

• Unit tests for jdk-support-status classifications.
• Startup logging tests for supported/unsupported JDK versions.

Deprecated in 0adde68.

Support has been removed. At the moment, only 17 and 21 are supported and can actually be used to run the components. We have a check in there somewhere that will flatly refuse to run if one of those isn’t installed, if I’m remembering correctly.

@silug Current code shows 11 as official:

openvox-server/src/clj/puppetlabs/services/master/master_service.clj

Lines 86 to 88 in f38cef3

	(re-matches #"11($|(\..*))" version) :official
	(re-matches #"17($|(\..*))" version) :official
	(re-matches #"21($|(\..*))" version) :official

and current messages mention 11 as well:

openvox-server/src/clj/puppetlabs/services/master/master_service.clj

Lines 94 to 95 in f38cef3

	(:unknown) (log/warn (i18n/trs "JDK {0} is neither tested nor supported. Please use JDK 11, 17 or 21" version))
	(:deprecated) (log/warn (i18n/trs "JDK {0} is deprecated, please upgrade to JDK 11, 17 or 21" version))

If we decide to remove 11, we will need to fix the tests:

openvox-server/test/unit/puppetlabs/services/master/master_core_test.clj

Lines 469 to 470 in f38cef3

	(is (= :official (master-service/jdk-support-status "11.0")))
	(is (= :official (master-service/jdk-support-status "11.0.7")))
