> Since Java 9 there are Multi-Release JARs ([MRJARS|https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238]) that allow different classes for different Java versions to be included in one JAR file. I was surprised when a Wildfly 14 running on Java 11 executed Java-8-code in a JAR included in a WAR although the JAR was a MRJAR with code for Java 11. That JAR included as a dependency for a regular Java SE project is running different code depending on the running JRE, but when included in a WAR, the Java-11-code seems to be ignored.
> Is that expected behavior for a webserver, as Java EE 8 does not explicitly require Java 9 (which introduced MRJARs) but only Java 8?
