Were there any serious reasons to change Java version from 8 to 11, when Web3j 4 originally supports Java 8?
Now if I want to use your plugin, I have to move from Java 8 to 11, which can potentially cause a lot of issues.
Maybe you can revert it back to 8?

Nevermind. I will update my project to Java 11, maybe it will be better in perspective.

We use the plugin for a large project that uses Java 8. Moving to Java 11 is not an option for us at all due to other dependencies. I am in favor of reverting back to 8.

Could someone release a version of web3j-maven-plugin that still supports Java 8?
There is absolutely no reason to jump to Java 11.
Besides, most Java EE runtimes are still on Java 8...
