Allen Wittenauer commented on YETUS-557:
----------------------------------------
More brainstorming:
- Rename the current source tree, modules, and jars to xyz-deprecated or
xyz-prejdk9 or xyz-toolsjarapi or some other designation. Build them with JDK8.
- Build a new directory hierarchy that is JDK11.
It's slightly annoying to our downstream's that upgrading to the next version
will mean changing the jar names, but in the future, we'll eventually kill
those jars off and we won't want to have those suffixes on them. Plus, looking
at the git log for these particular components... there's not a whole lot of
change happening. Upgrading may not even happen that much.
