It is nice to see how jdk17 would help get rid of a bunch of the boiler plate...not to mention the annoying xml binding dependencies.

trying to figure out how best to co-ordinate with all the collaborators on the move to JDK17

[thelarsjohansson]

The "upgrade" path should be Spring Boot 2.7.18 + Java 17, before the step to Spring Boot 3 (e.g. 3.2.2) is made. In general, it's suitable and standard behavior to update so as to make the upcoming leap as small as possible.

In addition

• Phoebus Olog already updated to Java 17
• 2.7.18 is update of minor version only

Therefore

• I recommend to update to Java 17 and Spring Boot 2.7.18 and use that as base for looking into Spring Boot 3.

[thelarsjohansson]

ControlSystemStudio / phoebus and Olog / phoebus-olog have been updated to 17 (but not released thereafter).
It's logical step to do the same with ChannelFinder and allow for test and/or alpha/beta release if so desired.

If there are uncertainties, it would be useful to list those. It might be indication that specific test efforts are required.

Since we have the 4.7.3 alpha release in place I think we can merge this
