Birst Connect

Birst upgraded from Java 8 to Java 11.

With this change, users cannot launch Birst Connect 1 through Java Web Start. Birst Connect 1 and Birst Connect 2 need Java11 to run starting with this release, 2022.06.

Note: Users can still connect to Birst Connect 1 using the command line where there is no loss of functionality. See Running Birst Connect from the Command Line for more information.

Caution:

Users must point both Birst Connect 1 and Birst Connect 2 to Java 11 and use Amazon Corretto 11.x or greater for Java 11.

Upgraded log4j to version 2.17.1 for Birst Connect 1 to be consistent with the rest of the application.
