Description

Hi.

I am using the java-jwt library in my project, which currently runs on Java 8. I am planning to migrate from Java 8 to Java 21 and am investigating compatible versions of each library for Java 21.

I found that the latest version of java-jwt (4.4.0 as of August 2024) is compatible with Java 8, 11, and 17, but there is no mention of support for Java 21.

Could you confirm whether java-jwt version 4.4.0 supports Java 21?

I posted same question on Auth0 Community forums.
The link is here.

Thank you.

👋 hi @rikkyrice, thanks for raising this question! I don't think there's any reason that it wouldn't be compatible with Java 21, but we just haven't updated our tests to run that version as well.

@tanya732 this would be a good task to do, update the CI to run with java 21, so all LTS verions 8+. If we find any issues we should capture or fix them, but if everything looks good we can update docs to be explicit about java 21 support.
