Description

Since upgrading to JDK11, Libreoffice no longer builds: 

[build CFG] driver_hsqldb
[build UPK] 17410483b5b5f267aa18b7e00b65e6e0-hsqldb_1_8_0.zip
[build PAT] hsqldb

    [javac] Note: /sources/libreoffice-6.1.4.2/libreoffice-6.1.4.2/workdir/UnpackedTarball/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/util/CodeSwitcher.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.

In it's infinite wisdom, Libreoffice does not tell us exactly what went wrong. Upon further investigation (like 16 hours worth), it seems to be that hsql won't compile on JDK11 without a patch (adapts it to no longer use a certain method that was removed). There is also a build problem later on due to JDK's changes to Javadoc as well.

The two relevant commits upstream are:

​https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/external/hsqldb?id=1d3f2ed0606cc971513dab5932ec7d1dd2a15f90

I'll generate a patch for the book and submit it.
