Even today, most vendors support running
Java EE 8 on JDK 11. So it is not the case that when we do not raise the
minimum to JDK 11 for Jakarta EE 9, that it will not be possible to use
JDK 11.
But the other way around is true when it runs only on JDK 11, we exclude
everyone who still requires JDK 8.
So setting the minimum to JDK 11 is more harmful than still support JDK
8 and that vendors make sure it is running on JDK 11.regardsRudyOn Mon, 4 Nov 2019 at 06:29, Edwin Derks

the base for JakartaEE 9 compatibility shouldn’t require any technical
changes on the platform for this release.However it could be a big change voor
vendors and more importantly: end users. Because when 11 is the base level,
this means that Application servers and end users can make use of Java
11 features.This could provide a fresh new feeling
of building apps with JakartaEE, which is much needed to inspire new developers
on the platform.Just my thoughts as an end user.Regards,EdwinOn Mon, 4 Nov 2019 at 03:34, Jorge Alejandro

to nail down the Jakarta EE 9 content before early December, I'm going
to start a few separate threads to discuss the major topics.
Should Jakarta EE 9 keep Java SE 8 as the minimum, or should we move to
Java SE 11?
Note, even if we decide to move to Java SE 11 as the minimum, this does
not mean that we will require JPMS. We're only talking about the
runtime support. Also, even if we decide to stick with Java SE 8
as the minimum, compatible implementations could support any version of
Java SE 8 and beyond.
Java SE 8 Pros- Consistent with
Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE 8. Limits migration concerns.
- No need to provide
the "missing" Java EE technologies that were removed from Java
SE 11.
- Still has a long
support cycle (2025?).
Java SE 11 Pros- Latest and greatest
LTS release for Java.
As
you can see, I'm having a tough time justifying the move to Java SE 11
-- especially with all of the required work for Jakarta EE 9, namely the
jakarta namespace change.
