that is not necessary. The News Feed bundle is optional and unrelated to
the rest of Code Recommenders. Unfortunately, it is currently broken as
the Feed Parser in Mylyn broke [1] with Java 11 (JAXB being removed).
The feed declarations are still there to provide users who install the
plugin from the Marketplace automatically are subscribed to the
packages' feed.

I don't have a running build right now (and can't work full-time on
this) so option 1 seems unlikely at this point; Java 11 simply broke to
many things in our build.

Under Java 11, option 2 logs several errors in the Error Log the first
time the user triggers content assist in a Java file. Thereafter, JDT
completion works as normal and Code Recommenders doesn't.

To ensure that Java users have a smooth out-of-the-box experience, I
personally would vote for option 3.

@Marcel: What's your take on this?

Hope this helps.
