-        Maven HPI plugin 3.27 or later (which is included in plugin parent POM 4.40 or later) almost
-        allows the plugin POM to support cores that require both Java 8 and Java 11 by dynamically
-        reconfiguring "maven.compiler.release" and "maven.compiler.testRelease" (which default to 8
-        in order to support cores prior to 2.357) to the version of Java that
-        "jenkins/model/Jenkins.class" was compiled with (which could be 11 with 2.357 or later):
-        "almost" because Enforcer's bytecode version check still gets in the way if a plugin has a
-        baseline of 2.357 or later and has a library on its classpath with Java 11 bytecode.
-        Unfortunately, there is no easy way for Maven HPI plugin to dynamically reconfigure Enforcer
-        for Java 11 the same way it dynamically reconfigures Maven Compiler Plugin for Java 11. So in
-        order for the plugin POM to support baselines before and after 2.357 and allow plugins to
-        use Java 11 features with a baseline of 2.357 or later if so desired, we work around the
-        problem by increasing the maximum JDK version for Enforcer to 11 below. While technically
-        incorrect (in the sense that it fails to enforce the absence of Java 9, 10, or 11 bytecode
-        when it should) when building, testing, or releasing a plugin with a baseline prior to 2.357
-        using a Java 11 compiler (including CD), any such plugin should have a "Jenkinsfile" build
-        running on Java 8, where the correct enforcement should be present, so this should not cause
-        any practical problems. This workaround is justified because the alternative (raising the
-        minimum Jenkins version for the plugin POM to 2.357 or later and dropping support for Java
-        8) would be overly harsh on users, causing Dependabot updates to fail for the majority of
-        users who do not want to update their baseline so aggressively. When we are ready to raise
-        the minimum Jenkins version for the plugin POM to 2.357 or later and drop support for Java
-        8, this workaround can be deleted.
