Can you help me in this

[Jeeppler]

First, thanks for being interested in this topic.

This issue requires on to test whether SecHub can be run and/or build with Java 17. To run / build SecHub using Java follow the instructions of the Quickstart Guide: https://daimler.github.io/sechub/latest/sechub-quickstart-guide.html.

Please first make sure to use Java 11 as we already tested it with Java 11 and it should work well: #187.

After using Java 11, switch your Java version to 17 and try to build it. In case it fails, report the problems this issue here.

My assumptions are:

1. One can run SecHub with Java 17 just fine
2. The build will fail, because of Gradle Switch to Gradle 7.4 #495.

However, just give it a try.

NOTE: All of this manual work is required, because we do not do an automatic matrix build with different Java versions.

Please have a look at the Java 16 test, you might run into the same issue: #613.

[Jeeppler]

Java 17 support was added in Gradle 7.3. Depends on: #495 and #1085.

This can be tested with additional runtimes from the Adoptium Marketplace: https://adoptium.net/marketplace/.
For example, using IBMs Semeru Runtimes OpenJ9.

[Jeeppler]

Eclipse Adoptium provides APIs for:

• the Temurin Java distribution: https://api.adoptium.net/
• the Adoptium marketplace: https://marketplace-api.adoptium.net/

those can be used to get the Java binary releases for OpenJ9 and Temurin.

Test: Debian Container

Semeru Open:

The Semeru Open runtime 17 (Eclipse OpenJ9 build) can be used to run and build SecHub.

However, during build the following error appears:

#15 60.45 > Task :sechub-server:ensureLocalhostCertificate
#15 60.45 Start creating localhost certificate
#15 60.45 dev-base.sh: line 24: keytool: command not found
#15 60.45 Created file /build/sechub/sechub-server/src/main/resources/certificates-untracked/generated-dev-localhost-keystore.p1

Apparently, there is no keytool command available.

Temurin 17:

Works

OpenJDK (Debian package):
