How does that affect our instance and its components?

Good question. I assume most Java software will just work with Java 21 but I do not have a complete overview of what exact software (and version) is used in our builds?!

btw, what about

Jenkins/Dockerfile

Line 14 in 68da547

ARG XMLCalabash=https://github.com/ndw/xmlcalabash1/releases/download/1.5.7-120/xmlcalabash-1.5.7-120.zip

– should that be updated?

For the record, our Dockerfile ties Jenkins to JDK17:

Jenkins/Dockerfile

Line 8 in 68da547

FROM jenkins/jenkins:lts-jdk17

we would need to update this before March 2026
