Unexpected / unwanted / undocumented switch from java 8 to java 11

[itineric]

Observed vs. expected behavior

Execution fails when upgrading from querydsl 5.0.0 to 5.1.0

Steps to reproduce

Use querydsl 5.1.0 on a JVM version 1.8

Environment

Querydsl version:
5.1.0

Querydsl module:
core, sql

Database:
postgresql

JDK:
java version "1.8.0_321"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_321-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.321-b07, mixed mode)

My observation

Probably related to this: https://github.com/querydsl/querydsl/blob/master/pom.xml#L900
combined with this: #3333

As it is not documented (like it was in version 5.0.0 when java < 1.8 was not supported anymore), I think this is a side effect.

The 5.1 was kinda an answer to my fork
https://github.com/OpenFeign/querydsl

It felt like flushing whatever was on master to maven central to give the project the appearance of been active.

Seems to be back to dormancy state
