Re: moving the base JVM level forward to Java 11
Thanks Davide and Bryan, I will wait a little longer for more feedback and then call a vote.

I suspect that most users who migrate off Java 8 will skip the intervening non-LTS versions and upgrade to Java 11 directly. Moving the base JVM level forward would let us take advantage of more improvements to the core libraries. Following our past practice, this change would require a vote by the community. What are your thoughts? Thanks, -Rick

Moving the trunk and the next release to JDK 11 is fine with me.

Re: moving the base JVM level forward to Java 11
Hello, - Java 11 is 1 year 6 months old - next LTS release, Java 17, will be released in another 1 year 6 months since now - JDBC 4.3 is stable since Java 9, being 4.4 in early access stage https://www.google.com/search?q=jdbc+4.4 So, for me, it seems a good moment to switch o the next LTS.
