Yes. I already started work on Java9+ issues, some in ios branch and
some in java11 branch of GlueGen.
Looks like it is easy to maintain both.
So when we make the Java11 switch, my proposal is to:
- Use OpenJDK >= 11 for building, otherwise this would explode
  the ant build file complexity.

- Build will produce a Java8 baseline compatible bytecode,
  since that seems to be the current Android 'floor' as well.

So, I guess a good compromise.

MacOS and iOS were and are probably the most time consuming ports we have.

And yes, we certainly need more companies (using JogAmp) paying for it,
sharing & balancing the costs between them. Also allowing 1-2 more
contributors working on it, being compensated.

Well, maybe some companies are following this 'drama' and do the right thing ;-)

Laters & Cheers,
