Just wanted to clarify, there is already a JIRA for ongoing work on Java 11 support. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2530
I led the initial work on supporting what at the time was Java 9/10, so far the biggest blockers were around the ApiSurface tests (not at all compatible with these versions) but at the time we were at 5 tests from getting sdks/core passing. Notice also that the scope of this JIRA evolved to support only the LTS version (Java 11), and specifically to support only sdks/core + direct runner. Supporting all IOs or runners really is more a question of the dependencies working nicely with Java 11 so this will probably take long time. Also the idea so far does NOT include supporting the Java module system at all. I stopped working on this during the move to gradle because it was too hard to tackle both Java evolving and all the ongoing changes in the build system. If somebody in the community wants to contribute in this area it will be greatly appreciated, notice that all the work we did on the build system for this needs to be implemented now in gradle too.
