Java version: 11.0.13, vendor: Ubuntu, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
While working on Jenkins code using Java 11, I have repeatedly run into MCOMPILER-346, which makes it nearly impossible to resolve compilation errors. As a workaround, I have been switching to Java 8 to resolve my compilation errors, but that is no longer viable if we drop support for Java 8. I have just discovered a new workaround: running Maven with -Dmaven.compiler.forceJavacCompilerUse=true. Until MCOMPILER-346 is fixed, we should enable this workaround by default for all Jenkins builds. Otherwise, people compiling with Java 11 will get strange {{NullPointerException}}s or {{AssertionError}}s when their code doesn't compile rather than a comprehensible error message explaining the source of the compilation error.

The fix for the underlying OpenJDK issue has been backported to jdk11u-dev in openjdk/jdk11u-dev#919 toward OpenJDK 11.0.16, currently scheduled for a July 2022 GA.
