I’m re-posting one section of the ESC Meeting minutes [1], to highlight his importance and the request for YOUR opinion on it.
"Gerrit v3.3.* and v3.4.* are distributed only for Java 11; however, during their development SAP and Google needed to preserve the source-code compatibility to Java 8 for being able to upgrade and deploy to their respective Java 8-based setup. Nowadays, SAP and Google are on Java 11; therefore, there is no need anymore to keep source-code level compatibility with Java 8.
The consensus is to drop Java 8 source compatibility for stable-3.3/3.4 to switch the whole Gerrit CI/CD pipeline to Java 11, avoiding complicated if/then/else in the build scripts.
Luca has created a small survey [2] for asking the community which Java version is used with Gerrit v3.3/v3.4. Once the results are available, the project can make a final decision on the matter.”
Can you *please* fill-up the survey [2] and provide your input?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Luca.

Can you *please* fill-up the survey [2] and provide your input?Thank you for submitting your feedback, please find at [3] the detailed results.In a nutshell:- 77% of the answers are from people using Gerrit v3.3.x or v3.4.x- Only 1 answer says that uses Java 8, everyone else is on Java 11
