[Andrii Berezovskyi <andriib@xxxxxx>]

FYI and a reminder that Lyo will have to follow suit (except for the jakarta.* change, which will not affect us).

A reminder that Jena will move from requiring Java11 to requiring Java17.

The project aims to support for 2 LTS versions of Java.
Java21 is scheduled for September 19 this year and is LTS.

Some time after that date that Jena will switch, with a major version bump to Jena 5.x.y

For Fuseki, Jena5 will use jakarta.* packages.

Jena is already tested for Java17 and Java21_latest_EA on a regular basis. You can switch JVMs now.
