    This issues forces us to switch of our Sonar buildbreaker as developers do not get an opportunity to verify their code upfront. This really is an issue that directly impacts our delivery quality. Can you please fix this on short notice but also to the future ensure that IDz follows the current Java versions in the market?

    Adding Java 11 support would also be in line with other products where Java 11 is required now.
