We ship GeoServer with a pure java version of JAI. On Java 8 and older
versions an extension mechanism was provided which allowed JAI to be
installed as an "extension" to the JRE (and shared between applications).
Companies like Sun and Apple used this as an opportunity to provide a copy
with native code speeding up some of the operations. With Java 9 the java
extension system was replaced with a module system called jigsaw (and the
extensions no longer work).

The pure java JAI can still be used as a plain java library allowing you to
run in Java 11. There will be some warnings (since the library assumes it
can have access to some internal classes which strictly speaking it no
longer in a privileged position to access).

Do you have any questions on the above? And do you have any suggestions on
how we can tell that story better on the java.html page....
