Spring 5.1.5.RELEASE what should i think to chose a JVM version

I am having an application running on JAVA - AIX platform, I am trying to move my spring application to Spring version 5.1.5.RELEASE.

I cannot upgrade my JVM which is currently in version 'J9VM - R28_20170209_0201_B336038'

The application does run in the above JVM version, but I am not sure if I have to upgrade to the latest JVM too to benefit on the latest Spring version!?

Is there any documentation on the JVM to chose for a spring version?

PS: My application does not work on any higher JVM version, which I have to sort out first.

See JDK Version Range on the Spring Framework Versions page, which currently says:

  • Spring Framework 5.1.x: JDK 8-12
  • Spring Framework 5.0.x: JDK 8-10
  • Spring Framework 4.3.x: JDK 6-8

We fully test and support Spring on Long-Term Support (LTS) releases of the JDK, i.e. currently JDK 8 and 11 (both with a lifetime until 2023). Additionally, there is support for intermediate releases such as JDK 9/10 or the upcoming JDK 12 on a best-effort basis, meaning that we accept bug reports and will try to address them as far as technically possible but won't provide any service level guarantees.

Please upgrade to Spring Framework 5.1 (and the corresponding Spring Boot 2.1) for JDK 11 support, as the common Long-Term Support migration path from JDK 8. No earlier Spring versions are officially supported on JDK 11, in particular not with JDK 11 bytecode level. Note that third-party components might not fully support JDK 11 yet, so you are likely to be limited in your full-stack options.
