6.0.0".M1" release still work on JDK 8 (not JDK 11).

I believe that the -Djava.endorsed.dirs options must be removed for running on JDK11 (glassfish6\glassfish/lib/endorsed jars could be added to the classpath if they are needed).

Are there other changes needed for running on JDK11?

[arjantijms]

@scottmarlow There are quite some changes needed indeed. Many concern replacing classes that have been removed and opening up modules to allow illegal access (actually, it would be even better to find replacements for illegal access, but for JDK 11 that will suffice).

See here for some idea of what the JDK 11 work entails: #23019

thanks @arjantijms that gives me a better idea of what the work entails.

Latest nightly builds all run with JDK 11.
