Jenkins : Known Java 11 Compatibility issues

This pages summarizes the status of the Jenkins ecosystem to run on Java 11.

How to contribute to this page

Given Jenkins has 1500+ plugins, this page is not meant to describe or link the status of every single component or plugins. Hence if you know the status of some component or plugin, feel free to add more information in the necessary places below.

Please note that this page is dedicated to the user-facing issues which impact the behavior. It is recommended to not set the labels for gradual code improvements and for minor issues like IllegalReflectiveAccess warnings in the system logs.

TL;DR: if you want to draw attention, making sure the java11 && scrub labels are set.

(java11 should generally be enough, but adding scrub will show even already Resolved issues. This could be useful for instance to draw attention on an already closed/resoved issue that you are not sure you should Reopen)
