As discussed in Slack the next release will have Java17 as minimal. This upgrades the build to also build as Java17 which was already what the CI was using.
The CDS targetted Java9 but as Java17 is enough of an upgrade those can now use the same version again.
We could leave this but it seems to do the same thing as the rest and can be added again when cleaning should be done in a different way.

I'm not an ant expert either and hard to follow all the impacts... but we can always back out if we really needed to and the release change is necessary. Merging.

I also added some cleanup of the file, I choose multiple commits as I'm not that experienced with
antso those might be unneeded (or worse).Old build extract:
