How to work with JDK versions greater than JDK8

[ottlinger]

I really love the functionality of the plugin - in Creadur RAT we used it to verify that no dependency and language construct was used from >=Java8.

How can we proceed with this safety net if we want to go to JDK17?

Just setting the release-property of the compiler plugin doesn't seem enough (as mentioned via #175).

As there are no newer versions of JDK signatures available in 'org.codehaus.mojo.signature' I wonder if I just have to remove the animal-sniffer from my build?

Any help appreciated .... thanks
