GS3 Discussion:

   - how 2 help?
      - ImageN is a lot Java development right now
      - Including ImageN in GeoServer 2.28 is going to be a big help
      - Please review PRs as GeoTools and GeoServer adjust to API change
      - example JAI-Tools removal PRs
      - Java 17 proposals below
      - Is JAI used in other fields or just by GeoTools?
      - Yes but not yet

*Java 17 Proposal*

Proposal is split in two phases. Phase 1 is updating the build to Java 17
(incl. github actions and Jenkins builds for the main branch). Phase 2 is
applying the OpenRewrite recipe to upgrade the code base to Java 17
(e.g. replace multiline string literals using concatenation by text blocks,
instanceof improvements, etc.)

   - GeoServer/GeoWebcache proposal

   - GeoServer pull request (draft)

   - GeoWebCache pull request (draft)
   <https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pull/1406>

Notes:

   - ErrorProne is catching so many more things in Java17
      - Resolve by applying the OpenRewrite refactor will address may of
      those
         - improved instance of
         - text blocks rather than string concatenation
         - Please vote! Edit, or on discourse.
