What is the latest Java version supported by Ancestris 11?

This page https://docs.ancestris.org/books/user-guide/page/install-and-start-ancestris of the documention suggests version 17 is supported.

On Debian 12 I've installed Java 17 JRE

david@debian:~$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.8" 2023-07-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.8+7-Debian-1deb12u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.8+7-Debian-1deb12u1, mixed mode, sharing)


But when I attempt to install Ancestris I get an error suggesting that only Java versions up to 11 are supported.

david@debian:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install ./ancestris_11-20211017.deb

Zurga:
Ancestris 11 works perfectly with Java 17 or even Java 21.
But the packages are done with Java 8.
If you want to install Ancestris 11 with another version of Java, use the generic zip file instead of packaged .deb file.

Thank you. I will try the generic zip file.
