Starting from Spring Boot 3.0, Java 17 or later is required.

Indeed, there are still many teams or individuals using JDK 8, but in reality, it has already become quite an outdated version. Since the release of Spring Boot 3.0, the requirement for JDK version has been JDK 17 or above. If you haven't upgraded to JDK 17+, I assume you may still be using an older version of Spring Boot, which is no longer supported or maintained. Therefore, I believe it's necessary to upgrade your project to a newer JDK version. Moreover, newer JDK versions offer many excellent new features.
