I am working on upgrading my e4 RCP application
to Java 11. All the plugins and features compile just fine
in the IDE and I can export the product and run it. I'm
trying to get the Tycho build working again with the new
java version. Unfortunately, I'm getting some strange errors
that I can't make sense of. It is almost as if there are two
versions of java be used and they are clashing.
