Description

• Upgrade build requirement to JDK11+ so we can use <maven.compiler.release>8</maven.compiler.release> and get rid of WARNINGs like Warning: bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 8
• The reason for the WARNING is that we don't correctly set the bootstrap classpath which can be easily handled by using --release option by JDK9+ and the real point is that we don't use animalsniffer anymore. That was our safety net which is not there anymore.
