I sent a merge request on Salsa [1]. It's only build tested, please
check if it's also ok at runtime.

Later the build fails when generating the javadoc, because the
"--add-modules=java.activation,java.xml.bind" option was specified to
build with Java 9, but these modules have been removed in Java 11.

With javax.activation.jar added to the classpath the build now fails due
to the removal of JAXB:

[javac] import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
[javac]  ^
[javac] 
/build/scilab-6.0.1/modules/xcos/src/java/org/scilab/modules/xcos/palette/PaletteManager.java:27:
 error: package javax.xml.bind does not exist
[javac] import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
[javac]  ^
[javac] 
/build/scilab-6.0.1/modules/xcos/src/java/org/scilab/modules/xcos/palette/PaletteManager.java:28:
 error: package javax.xml.bind does not exist
[javac] import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;
[javac]  ^

So a new dependency on libjaxb-java is also needed.

The @Generated annotations can be safely removed, they only have a
documentation purpose at the source level.

But after removing them there is another issue related to the removal
of the javax.activation API in Java 11:

[javac] 
/build/scilab-6.0.1/modules/helptools/src/java/org/scilab/modules/helptools/image/ImageConverter.java:33:
 error: package javax.activation does not exist
[javac] import javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap;
[javac]^
[javac] 
/build/scilab-6.0.1/modules/helptools/src/java/org/scilab/modules/helptools/image/ImageConverter.java:50:
 error: cannot find symbol
[javac] private MimetypesFileTypeMap mimeMap = new 
MimetypesFileTypeMap();
[javac] ^
[javac]   symbol:   class MimetypesFileTypeMap
[javac]   location: class ImageConverter
[javac] 2 errors
[javac] 3 warnings
