Description

Around Geode 1.6 the brew maintainers changed Geode's brew dependency on Java from 1.8+ to 1.8, citing GEODE-3

Although Geode still must be compiled on JDK 8, is does support running on Java 11 (and perhaps later, has anyone tried...?)

It would be nice to update the brew formula, as Java 11 provides a faster and more secure runtime overall.
