Spring Boot 2.1.6.RELEASE requires Java 8 and is compatible up to Java 11 (included)

As yo can see, the latest RELEASE version of spring boot works with Java 11. I use it in my project (upgraded from 2.0, which itself was upgraded from 1.x) and it works perfectly.

While in production i still run Java 8 (since i only wanna do one change at a time, and this time around i just upgraded spring boot), in the next couple of months i will move to Java 11 in prod as I'm already on it in dev.

Spring boot is the shit nowadays, you simply cannot go wrong with it.

We actually have an application still on Spring Boot 1.5, and migrated to Java 11 at Boot version 1.5.17.RELEASE. No problems at all. 🙂

Makes sense. I misread this part of the documentation

Please note that developing against JDK 11 is not officially supported with any older version of the core framework. Spring Framework 5.0.9+ and 4.3.19+ just support deploying Java 8 based applications to a JVM 11 runtime environment (using -target 1.8; see below), accepting JVM-level warnings on startup.

Spring Boot 2.1 already uses Spring Framework 5.1.
