Java 11.0.1 has been released by Oracle, but https://adoptopenjdk.net appears to have its own release scheme: it is still on jdk-11+28 from Aug-2018. So I have updated the jdk and jedit-build components right now: see Isabelle/f714114b0571. It should work smoothly on all platforms, even on macOS: I have updated the MacOSX plugin accordingly and bundled it with Isabelle as before (when that gets updated officially by the jEdit project, it might cause some confusion, though). The font-rendering of this OpenJDK version is quite different from what we've seen from Oracle since Java 7. The Isabelle font is a bit thinner than before, but sub-pixel rendering works better, especially on Linux.
