Scala是否兼容JDK 1.10？官方下载页仅要求安装JDK 1.8

Hey there! Great question—let me break this down for you clearly.

First off, Scala does support JDK 1.10 (also known as JDK 10, following Oracle's version numbering shift starting with Java 9). The download page's mention of JDK 1.8 only specifies the minimum required version, not a hard upper limit.

Here are a few key details to keep in mind:

• Most modern Scala versions (the 2.12.x and 2.13.x series) are fully compatible with JDK 10. They take advantage of newer JDK improvements while maintaining backward compatibility with the 1.8 baseline.
• If you're working with older Scala versions (pre-2.12), you might encounter minor compatibility quirks, but these are rare and typically fixable with small adjustments.
• When compiling or running Scala code on JDK 10, you won't need special flags in most cases—Scala's compiler (scalac) and runtime will automatically handle the JDK version.

A quick side note: While JDK 10 is supported, if you're starting a new project, you might want to consider an LTS (Long-Term Support) JDK version like 11 or 17, since JDK 10 isn't an LTS release and no longer gets official updates. But if you're stuck with JDK 10 for specific reasons, Scala will work perfectly fine.
