[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (ELY-1994) Ensure the Elytron build works on Java 14

[Darran Lofthouse (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ELY-1994?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14180815#comment-14180815 ] 

Darran Lofthouse commented on ELY-1994:
---------------------------------------

For anyone who does pick this up next, the JaasSecurityRealm Sonia identifies is probably the most important as this becomes a part of our supported implementation.

We presently compile on Java 11 but when available we may want to jump to Java 17.  I have heard mention that when compiling to an older version the older APIs may still be available to compile against (this may be something we have to add to the build) so we may still be able to produce a jar compatible with Java 8 / 11.  

For Java 14 and later we likely have two options to consider:
# Use a multi version jar to make unsupported from Java 14 and onwards.
# Provide an alternative implementation from Java 14 that does not rely on the API which is removed from that point.
