Description

The main/5.17.x build requires you build using Java 11+. It obviously fails if run on e.g 8, which the 5.16.x build requires is used. It does fail reasonably fast, but only after e.g installing the root pom. There is an enforcer check for the Java version already in the parent, it just is checking for Java 8. Replace it with one to make the build fail immediately and in a quickly obvious "you must build using Java 11+" way.
