Description

Currently, we only support Java 8, because we use javalang library, which supports Java 8 (three years without any updates). Let's find a way to either replace it or maybe upgrade it. We need to support Java 21+.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore alternative Java parsers that support Java 21+ syntax, or consider upgrading the javalang library. Check if there are open source forks or patches. Evaluate complexity of replacing the dependency.
