Description

From the manifest 4.2.0 jars are compiled with jdk11:

Build-Jdk: 11.0.2 

Changes to covariant return types for ByteBuffer in JDK11 cause a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError at runtime when running on JDK 8. These calls paths are impacted:

This can be mitigated by setting the --release to 8.
