Moving to Java 24 is a prerequisite for switching from ASM to the Java Class-File API (GR-61102). While some of the projects could stay on 21, most must go to 24.

Moving to 24 has the following consequences:

  • SpotBugs no longer runs, but it has been decided to phase-out SpotBugs anyways (GR-65583)
  • ECJ also does not support Java 24 currently (GR-63814)
  • Backporting might get more complicated if 24 features are used. (we might want to backport this to 25, though)

Also note that projects with a source dependency on SVM, such as web-image projects, are de facto also pushed to 24 compliance, although this is currently not enforced by mx if the dependency is included via distributions (which is considered a bug).
