Hi Jody,
forcing the build off Java 8 seems like a problem, at least in the short
term. I'd wait for
such a move until the March 2019 release.
A switch to Java 11 (LTS) by September "might" work, but it's going to be
kind of risky,
the GA for it is also September 2018, so we'd have a new GT release against
a new
JDK with little time to make them work together... what can possibly go
wrong :-)
(in other terms, we'd likely be putting together a throwaway release and
those who
care about production would be forced to work on maintenance, and forks of
it for any
new feature, creating a void in the community).
Cheers
Andrea
