Andrey Melentyev commented on BEAM-2530:
----------------------------------------
Almost two years after JDK 11 release it is extremely disappointing that Beam
lacks official support for it. This should be prioritized higher, together with
partial support for modern JDK versions as they appear.
It's not just linguistic bells and whistles, from talent search perspective it
is much harder to attract someone to program a language dialect from 2014.
> Make Beam compatible with next Java LTS version (Java 11)

> Key: BEAM-2530
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2530
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build-system
> Affects Versions: Not applicable
> Reporter: Ismaël Mejía
> Priority: P2
> Labels: Java11, java9, stale-P2
> Fix For: Not applicable

> Time Spent: 8h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The goal of this task is to validate that the Java SDK and the Java Direct
> Runner (and its tests) work as intended on the next Java LTS version (Java 11
> /18.9). For this we will base the compilation on the java.base profile and
> include other core Java modules when needed.
> *Notes:*
> - Ideally validation of the IOs/extensions will be included but if serious
> issues are found they will be tracked independently.
> - The goal of using the Java Platform module system is out of the scope of
> this work.
> - Support for other runners will be a tracked as a separate effort because
> other runners depend strongly in the support of the native runner ecosystems.
