Document supported java versions

[danischroeter]

Maybe i searched wrong but i was not able to find out which version of jvm's are supported by which versions of bytebuddy?
I expected this to be available in the release documentation or at the overview?
Does this info exist or could it be created?

Within the code this info seems to be available but that's hard to manage...

Java 23 (67) is not supported by the current version of Byte Buddy which officially supports Java 21 (65) - update Byte Buddy

If you use the latest version, you will support all ever versions as it adapts the class file api as fallback.

At the same time it supports Java 5 still.

This is awesome - it's nice that you guys are so fast in adapting to new jvms and I appreciate your work!

But the problem is still that many libraries include older versions of bytebuddy and it's hard to find out if the old version will work with some jvm...
A small table in readme.md with
e.g. jvm 1.20 bytebuddy > 1.15 (made up example)
would make this easier to understand. wdyt?

Would you be willing to do this? Basically, you just need to track ASM updates and align the table with their support. I am happy to add it to the project!

Sure - at least for the later versions...
