RFR: 6899: Upgrade core to 8 [v3]

[Mario Torre]

Hi Marcus,

I'm a bit concerned by this bit:


  <requireJavaVersion>
- <version>[1.8.0-40,)</version>
- <message>Building JMC requires Java 8 version JDK 1.8.0_40 or later</message>
+ <version>[11,)</version>
+ <message>Building JMC requires Java 11 or later</message>
  </requireJavaVersion>

This means that we now require a JDK 11 to be installed in the systems
that do build JMC now, I believe so far we were able to build with 8
only if I'm not wrong?

Cheers,
Mario
