A rough roadmap for 6.0.0. All input is welcomed.

  • Drop java-8 compatibility. First java-11 release [optional, depends on timing and community needs]
  • Drop dependency on legacy RCSB PDB services, e.g. source.rcsb.org. Remove code that uses the dependencies.
  • Remove BioJava's own mmCIF parser, making the ciftools-java parser the default one (code already in since 5.3.0). Drop all unneeded code.
  • Full support for branched entities in structure module (related to PDB carbohydrate remediation appearing in July 2020)
  • More clean up of error handling. Throw early, catch late.
  • More clean up of tests: reduce external resources need at test time

Process improvements

  • Use SonarQube to measure coverage and quality. Hook it up in CI for pull requests (see #561 )

Is java-8 compatibility a burden? Although the Oracle JDK isn't being updated, it's not officially end-of-life until 2022 (roadmap).

I don't oppose keeping java-8 compatibility for 6.0.0. We could drop java-8 in version 6.1 or 7.0

Any opinions?

ciftools-java seems to be using 11 by default. Maybe that's reason enough to move up.
