What is the minimum required Java version to build the SDK?

[kenfinnigan]

It's been a while since I last was involved with the project. so I was following the contribution guidelines and I wasn't able to build the project with Java 11 as per here.

It gave me an error saying Java 17 was required.

Happy to submit a PR to change the contribution guide if it should be Java 17, but wanted to ask here first

Yes java 17 is required to build, but the artifacts produced by the build are java 8 compatible. Looks like we need to update the contribution guidelines. Sorry about that.

Thanks, I will submit a PR with the doc change
