Spring / Spring7 basics Interview questions
What is the minimum Java version required by Spring Framework 7?
Spring Framework 7 keeps Java 17 as its minimum supported version, the same baseline Spring 6 introduced back in 2022. This was a deliberate, pragmatic choice: rather than forcing every team onto the newest JDK the moment a major Spring version ships, the framework lets you stay on a widely adopted LTS release.
At the same time, Spring Framework 7 fully supports and recommends Java 25, the newest LTS, so applications that do upgrade can take advantage of virtual threads, the Class-File API, and other modern JVM improvements. Java 11 and earlier are no longer supported at all, and Spring Boot 4 follows the same Java 17 floor.
