I should of used more words, we can do the repackage, and add MANIFEST
entries while still staying on Java 8. This next release of GeoTools should
work on both Java 8 and Java LTS 18.9. The goal is to make this GeoTools
jigsaw ready, giving applications like GeoServer plenty of breathing room
to migrate to LTS 18.9 in September (ahead of Java 8 EOL January 2019). In
a perfect world we could make the next release of GeoServer also work on
both Java 8 and Java LTS 18.9.
I do not know of any March 2019 releases, Java 18.3 comes out this month
