[FLINK-29436] Spotless 2.27.1 already supports JDK 17

[tisonkun]

This is a subtask of FLINK-29436.

I'm using JDK17 and I found this task skipped when developing the pulsar connector.

Since the block is already fixed at apache/flink#20911, we can do the same here and release a 1.0.1 or 1.1.0.

-1, see the comment in the bit that you're deleting.

wait...

Why are you upgrading the plugin? In apache/flink#20911 2..27.1 works on Java 17?

[zentol]

(It would be great if we the plugin versions were reasonably in sync across repos)

Yes. 2.27.1 should work, while I know at lease diffplug/spotless@f9f1f30 I made a good supplement to develop experience.

Since the later version should be compatible with previous ones, is there some reason preventing using a latest version?

Sounds reasonable. Would you suggest we pin on 2.27.1 for now. Or simultaneously update the one in the main repo?

Every version bump, be it a plugin or dependency, bears risks. It may behave differently, there may be a bug, there may be a vulnerability due to added features. Hence one should have a good reason for updating anything.

simultaneously update the one in the main repo?

If we upgrade it then it should be done as a separate ticket.

Are you aware of the fast profile that skips the spotless plugin (among others)?

OK. Let me go back to 2.27.1 then.

[tisonkun]

Updated.

@zentol do we have an estimate for the 1.1.0 release? I can help to prepare the artifacts and drive the vote. But perhaps with a guide of what artifacts should be included. It seems we don't have these code on https://dist.apache.org/ but simply release to the Nexus repository?
