@svbutko Can I ask you to rebase as this I believe is ready to land 👍

[Simek]

The change has landed only on main, so we need to wait for the 0.67 cut to happen, to merge this PR in.

This change is backward compatible though. You can use JDK 11 to build previous version of RN without problems. With the upcoming version instead, it will become a requirement.

@Simek I think you meant to say 0.68?

[Simek]

Not exactly, I should write that we need to wait for the 0.67 docs cut merge, not only the cut. :)

If we merge this now, for a while, the change will appear in next docs, which will be incorrect, but after the merge of 0.67 cut the next version will represent the state of 0.68.

[kelset]

gotcha: so version 0.67 of react-native is not affected by this, so this PR can only be merged after this PR is merged: #2926

correct?

[cortinico]

If we merge this now, for a while, the change will appear in next docs, which will be incorrect, but after the merge of 0.67 cut the next version will represent the state of 0.68.

Just to clarify: this specific change is making JDK 11 the "suggested" JDK versions.
It necessarily needs to be in the 0.68 docs, as there it will be come a hard requirement. It won't hurt to have it inside the 0.67 docs as well as JDK versions are backwards compatibles.

@cortinico Thanks for the clarification! So we can merge it now, right?

[cortinico]

So we can merge it now, right?

Essentially yes 👍

[Simek]

To see this change in the 0.67 docs we need to cherry pick this commit into 0.67 docs cut or just sync the cut branch with main. CC @kelset

[kelset]

ok, let me rebase my branch on top of main for good measure and re-gen the docs
