bq. Can you tell me where I could get insight into the testing cycles and results?
Hmmm, here's one example: https://jenkins.thetaphi.de/job/Lucene-Solr-master-Linux/22921/ But we're not really tracking JDK 11 separately at the moment. I'd monitor the discussion at SOLR-12809 for the current state. Do note that Uwe just installed the GA release of Java 11 on the test machines in the last day or so. Perhaps many of the problems will go away.
