Description

In order to assess potential compatibility issues -- for example, regarding different enforcement of rules specified in the JLS for Java compilers -- we should try building Spring Framework using OpenJ9 once 0.29.1 has been released.

Note from OpenJ9 team: "Java 17 will ship on jdk17.0.1"
