      		EVS SERVICE AND ARCHITECTURE GROUP UPDATES
      EVS Service and Architecture Group

      Discussion about Java 17 migration and remediation

      There is an issue in Term Browser where several of the mappings show a null for the release. There is a choice: do a separate release to fix this or if we want to make it as part of the Java 17 release.

      DECIDED: Keep it as part of the Java 17 release (even if it means waiting longer)
