I think we have now a good chance to switch to Java 17 somewhere in 2022. This migration will have been absolutely horrible, the worst in my Java development experience.

    46
    57On the current roadmap, the first version will be released end of October. A macro planning for a Java 8 => Java 11 transitions for all JOSM users would roughly look like this:
    … …  
    911- End of 2020: End of Java WebStart support by Oracle for Java 8. We force everyone to switch
    1012- Somewhere in 2021: Enough JOSM users have switched to OpenWebStart so we can consider moving the codebase to Java 11.
