Blueriq depends heavily on the JDK for much of it's functionality. Oracle decided to deprecate several modules from the JDK in version 9 and 10 and removed them in version 11, e.g. the module java.xml.ws. These modules are needed to run Blueriq, e.g. java.xml.ws is needed for webserviceing purposes. Oracle will provide these modules via third party dependencies for each matching JDK version for version 9 and up, compiled against that JDK version. We can not add third party dependencies compiled against a higher JDK version then we compile against. This means that it will be impossible for us to compile on JDK 8 and support version 11. Since we don't want to change the compile JDK version in a minor release, because the impact for projects, specially with custom code, is enormous. The Java support roadmap for Blueriq for the following versions will be like this:
