gradle 7?

[guymguym]

I see that smithy project updated to gradle 7
smithy-lang/smithy#1085

When is it going to be updated for smithy-rs?

The reason I "care" is that with gradle 6 I have to manually install jdk 11 (or up to 14) which is quite old.

We agree that this situation isn't ideal but due to internal constraints, we don't plan to address this at this time. As soon as those internal constraints get relaxed or we have a good mitigation we can revisit this issue, but I'm sorry to say that we don't currently have any estimate on when that will be.

Thanks @Velfi That's OK, it's not blocking me in any way just wanted to keep track.
Just while we're at at - if you'd be willing to highlight a few of the things that would need to be updated in the repo, I might be able to take a first stab. Only if it makes sense. Thanks!!

Ah, sorry. When I said "internal" I was referring to something internal to AWS, not the SDK. If you apply for a job and get hired I'd be happy to be more specific 😜

Got it, no worries, gradle 6 FTW 😉

We are no longer blocked. We should be able to upgrade to Gradle 7.
