make JDK 11 the minimum version

[ptrthomas]

refer discussion in 2009 on Jun 7

plan is:

• version 1.3.0 of Karate (which solves the Graal JS issues) will be the last release that uses JDK 8
• version 1.4.X onwards Karate will require Java 11 (note that 1.4.0.RC3 is already available to test)
• version 1.5.0 onwards the Maven artifact and Java package names will change to io.karatelabs

edit1 to announce 1.4.0.RC1 and that 1.5.0 will be where we move packages

[ptrthomas]

this ticket will also track

• the switch of Karate's maven namespace to io.karatelabs.karate and the corresponding Java package changes
• we can also take this opportunity to drop JUnit4 support completely

[ptrthomas]

note to self: we need to move the docker container to the karatelabs org: https://hub.docker.com/r/karatelabs/karate-chrome

existing: https://hub.docker.com/r/ptrthomas/karate-chrome

for the record, pull-count is 745965 as of now: https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/ptrthomas/karate-chrome/

there's a report of classgraph having a vulnerability, so make sure to upgrade that in this ticket: https://ossindex.sonatype.org/component/pkg:maven/io.github.classgraph/classgraph

[ptrthomas]

update: classgraph was upgraded in develop and will make it in the final release of 1.3.0 - any team depending on this is requested to verify

[ptrthomas]

reminder to upgrade picocli to 4.7.0 https://github.com/remkop/picocli/releases/tag/v4.7.0

[ptrthomas]

anyone landing here, please note - a Karate version for Java 11 (plus Graal update) is already available as 1.4.0.RC1 see #2148

[ptrthomas]

note a request to update the ANTLR dep in #2174

[edwardsph]

Is there any possibility of doing a 1.4.0.RC2 release which will bring in the recent improvements from 1.3.1. Could that also include the ANTLR update as well please? I'd like to keep tracking the 1.4.0 releases but I have a clash with ANTLR versions and I'm not keen to use the "all" classifier as it re-introduces vulnerable dependencies we've previously replaced.

[ptrthomas]

@edwardsph sure. will try in the next day or two. wonder if you had a chance to look at this

[edwardsph]

Sadly I didn't have the capacity but that's partly the reason for the above request, so I can have a look at those changes in the context of 1.4.0. It was tricky for me to revert to 1.3.1.

[ptrthomas]

all: 1.4.0.RC2 was released and should be available in maven central shortly. in addition to the fixes in 1.3.1 - here are the dependencies updated to latest versions: 05bd6af

[ptrthomas]

dev note: we will drop cucumber and the fake classes in 1.4.0: #2214

[ptrthomas]

for anyone landing here, 1.4.0.RC3 is available.

note for 1.5.0 - we will stop releasing the ZIP release as this need is covered by the plugins (VS Code and IntelliJ): https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/wiki/ZIP-Release

[ptrthomas]

1.4.0 released
