Say hi to the 1990's.

:-)

The latest JacORB release predates Java 11.

The two most obvious solutions IMHO:
* let that CORBA stuff continue to run on Java 8
* find another Java CORBA implementation that supports
   Java 11

Trying to use Java 11 + some CORBA classes from X + JacORB
to work seems risky to me.
