Update Java recommendations #87
Conversation
...to recommend Corretto as the distribution and 11 or newer LTS versions. A longer write-up of the rationale can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZR-YnaXCT5_gLVmTCeGs0mWd3KPaAozPjQK8uUzHZ9w/edit?usp=sharing

| [Dependency injection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection) is a software design pattern that implements [inversion of control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control) between a `client` and a `service` for resolving dependencies. The term `injection` refers to a third party (named `the injector`) which is responsible for constructing the services and injecting them into the client. Usual `injectors`are dependency injection frameworks such as `guice`, `dagger`, `macwire`, `spring`. | ||
| * Run on a Corretto LTS version of Java, no lower than Java 11. At the time of writing this means Corretto 11 or 17. For tips on upgrading from Java 8, see [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZR-YnaXCT5_gLVmTCeGs0mWd3KPaAozPjQK8uUzHZ9w/edit?usp=sharing). |

Is it worth placing this GDoc in GitHub too? Maybe as a wiki if it doesn't naturally fit within this repo?

I'm not sure the benefit here to be honest. What was your thinking? /recommendations seems to be for a concise statement of best practice. Google Docs feels better suited to lengthy guides as they are easier to collaborate on and provide easier support for rich document features (TOC, images, etc.).

I've been bitten in the past where GitHub referred to a GDoc that no longer existed because the owner had left and didn't change ownership of it. That's harder to do with VCS.
Not a blocker.

Ah yeah, that is horrible! The doc is in the shared drive at least, so hopefully should be safe for a while.
