Java 17

Thanks so much for these images! Is there a java 17 image or an easy way to change versions ourselves?

Looking at the EOL (and ended Premier Support) of Java 11, I think we could upgrade to Java 17 as the default Java version overall. I'll check if this affects the other images depending on it (Cordova / Ionic).

@hopeseekr Where are you getting this exception? This looks like you are still using Java 8 in your application.
