Build fails on Java 8 about maven-build-scanner

[Boyman10]

I reproduced the issue and got it solved by building using jdk11 (altering the pom to match the proper version).

Solution: remove the plugin. It only formats source code. Less valuable than running in many Java versions.

Thank you @Boyman10! I just discover that the problem is the Google Java Format Plugin (https://github.com/google/google-java-format) that is used inside the fmt-maven-plugin (https://github.com/coveooss/fmt-maven-plugin)

From fmt-maven-plugin docs:

Starting from version 1.8, Google Java Formatter requires Java 11 to run. Incidently, all versions of this plugin starting from 2.10 inclusively also require this Java version to properly function. The 2.9.x release branch is the most up-to-date version that still runs on Java 8.

I firmly believe that migrate to Java 11 is a great move since is a LTS version that is largely used on production envs.

But some projects have not migrated yet and maven buils scanner could be very useful for them

I'll try to find some workaround for this cases. If I find that is too complex I'll happily close this issue :)

I'll do it now!
