Hi all,

Otto just bumped me about us still referencing Java 8 as minimum version.

I think we could be Java 8 compatible, if we only want to build the java part.
However as soon as we also build c or go, we need 11 due to the 
cmake-maven-plugin.
Also do we need it in order to build some of the integration modules.

So I think instead of investing time into ironing out the Java 8 
incompatibilities, I would like to make the minimum version 11 officially.

I know that in the past I said, that customers might be needing Java 1.8, but 
as officially almost nobody admits using PLC4X and we know nothing about the 
setups people are using we'll simply do a decision on the facts known to us.

Right now, this is:

  *   Supporting Java 8 adds more work for me and doesn't bring an advantage 
that I'm aware of.
  *   Sebastian would love to officially be allowed to use Java 11 goodness

Chris
