Change java requirement statement

[PUlvestad]

https://www.jmri.org/help/en/html/setup/
Current:
JMRI® requires that Java be installed:

Version 2.12 can run on any computer system that will run Java 1.5 through Java 8 (also known as Java 1.8).
Version 2.14.1 requires Java 1.5 (or Java 1.6 to support for drag & drop) through Java 8.
Version 3.10.1 requires Java 1.7 through Java 8.
Version 4.2 requires Java 8.

Version 4.2 requires Java 8 is giving the impression only 8 can be used
Change to --Version 4.2 requires Java 8 through Java 11.--

Would it make sense to say "Version 4.2 and later requires Java 8 through 11. If your machine can run it, we recommend Java 11."?

I think we should not change the recommendations for 2.12, 2.14.1 and 3.10.1, instead leaving them to say "through Java 8". We haven't tested those with Java 11.

I agree.

[PUlvestad]

Yes, that is fine with me.
