We need to use the Module APIs.
And drop things that we don't want to maintain anymore (such as ALPN for JDK 8).

You should switch because JDK 8 will be unmaintained by January 2019,
and JDK 9 and 10 are already unmaintained.
So either you remain on a possibly vulnerable JDK version, or you have
a paid JDK 8 version that the Jetty Project does not have access to.
You can stay on Jetty 9.4.x and JDK 8 if you want.
It won't be wise for the Jetty Project to stay on an unmaintained JDK
with its latest release.
