Would you share your experience so far? I'm looking for concrete examples that could improve productivity with 11.

I'm not a package maintainer, but we have some customers that insist on compatibility because they won't touch a line of code just because they fear too loose their job if something breaks. Unfortunately we see *a lot* of incompatibilities with Java 11 and "old" Java 8 code, so this isn't trivial to move. But for the IDE itself it should be possible to run on higher Java versions than the product, so I personally don't have any objections if some packages would move. There are old package versions around for people with Java 8.
