Compatibility with JDK 11 [SPR-16391]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-16391 and commented

JDK 11 is currently scheduled for September 2018. Not expecting any major changes beyond JDK 10 from our perspective, we should be able to fully support it in the 5.1 line already. Ideally our framework build would be able to run on JDK 8, 9, 10 as well as 11, even if our own test efforts will focus on JDK 8 and 11 (as the official long-term support branches) at that point.

Unfortunately, the Groovy 2.5.1 compiler still isn't JDK 11 compatible... apparently due to its use of ASM 6.2 without the ASM 7 experimental option (see #21633 for a similar case on our end). As a consequence, our build still doesn't run on JDK 11 (build 25).

As of 5.1.1, we run the build against Groovy 2.5.3 which executes fine on JDK 11. Including an upgrade of spring-test to use Hibernate ORM 5.3.6 instead of 5.2.17, this makes our entire build pass on JDK 11 now.
