Support WM universal messaging client libraries on latest versions of Java

We are moving to a cloud way of working and what to keep our systems running on the latest levels of software. The latest version that you support is Java17 for UM client libraries. We can run the libraries just fine in Java21 but we would then not be running a supported version. Please can you extend your support to Java21, and keep up to date with the latestest versions.

    Hello and thank you for taking the time to give us feedback.

    The current plan is to continue having the UM clients move forward with the release train. The client is backward compatible with the older releases. Indeed this does not help with a new dynamic development environment where the version are updated regularly. We'll reevaluate the costs and the release channels for the client libs releases for different java versions. Until this happens one would have to waith for the next version that would support java 21.

    Regards,
