No, we cannot get rid of them. While we are compiling on JDK11, the 
requirement still is to run and test on JDK8. That can only change with 
voting.

That's is desirable goal, but it has nothing to do with JDK8. The same tests 
would remain shaky on any JDK. In any case, we shall update our jobs. The IDE 
should be built with JDK11 and test with other JDKs:

Sample code doing that: 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3418/files#diff-f2b504a5dd489bbf1a9e22cf5a3ff2f3ab469fabe9dd52ff6945482f9f356a34R57

> - Reducing the amount of trees we burn to run Travis builds.

That would better be done by using "pipelines" - e.g. build NetBeans IDE first 
on JDK11 and then test the binary on other systems.

Let's start by updating our jobs to build with JDK11 and continue to test with 
the same JDK as they do now, please!
