This project runs on old libraries and technologies.
I would like to motivate to bring it up to date, including

  • update gradle ✔️ #70
    • support Java 11
    • use library and implementation directives instead of compile
  • update dependencies
    • gradle plugins
    • java libraries
    • Spring related
      • multi branch for different versions of Spring?
  • update Java (Java 11 is supported in Spring Boot 2.1).
  • support JUnit 5
  • support Java 11 modules
  • update readme

Many people still use Java 8. So for an open source project it makes sense to keep JDK 8 as minimum requirment.

You are right, what we can do is compile with Java 11 and set targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8, to support Java 8 but be able to adapt to newer Java versions.
