 Description   

As of Magnolia 6.2.9, we can add Java 16 to the certified stack. Only caveat: the javascript-models module won't work as it relies on the Nashorn JavaScript Engine, which was removed in Java 15 (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/372).

Replacing the Nashorn engine with GraalVM has been planned already (JSMODELS-24).

Perhaps akhamis would be the right assignee as we can brag about it in 6.2.9 release notes?  

Comment by Julie Legendre [ 20/May/21 ]

Indeed, reassigned

Comment by Ashraf Khamis [ 20/May/21 ]

Added Java 16 and a warning about the JavaScript Models module to https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/Administration/Certified-stack.html. Limited Nashorn to Java 8–14 and added a note about its removal to https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/Modules/List-of-modules/JavaScript-Models-module.html.
