Maybe it would be better to not use the word "upcoming" so we don't have to come back to this later when it's no longer upcoming? And I guess also "development" can be omitted, since this page is about migration? Looking at the sentence above, maybe:
| Upcoming openHAB 5 development requires Java 21. | |
| openHAB 5 requires Java 21. |
?
(the sentence above regarding Java 17 for openHAB 4 might also need an update, but this is unrelated to your changes)

Could be slightly rephrased to follow the same phasing as in line 44 (and dropping "upcoming"):

let me know when you want to have this merged. @mstormi @ecdye |
|
I will rework this once I find some time. It should have been added before we released 4.3.... @stefan-hoehn Maybe we should have pinned this forum post.... |
You mean, pin it in the forum? Yep, would be good idea. I think only a discourse admin can do it, AFAIK. |
Not sure if I managed to change it in all locations, but a first try...
