I am logging this in case anyone else runs in to this issue. JDK 8 is required, not 11

Hi thewebexpert: thanks for pointing this out. Am going to look into upgrading this project to a more recent jdk.

If possible, could you update the readme under prerequisites to include JDK 8 to compile? Thanks! plugin worked perfectly!
