I've tried it but Leiningen won't build on Java 11 because of this bug in Clojure:

  https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-2077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

It looks like it's been fixed in newer versions of Clojure, but we
haven't bumped that in Leiningen yet.
