Java 11 does not supply a SOAP implementation, unlike Java 8. A choice was made to go with the latest libraries from the Eclipse Metro project to avoid security vulnerabilities associated with old and deprecated versions. This breaks compatibility with Java 8 and Java 11+ is now required, which explains bumping the major version of the extension. This change also deals with issues resulting from the way the machine agent loads extensions, along with interactions between thread pools and class loaders in Java 9 and above. It ensures SOAP handling initialization does not happen in the constructor of the extension's main class, otherwise the class loader will fail to locate certain classes when launched via the machine agent (although tests pass).

Tentative fix for issues running the extension on agents based on Java 11. This requires testing in an actual DataPower environment, only minimal testing was done to see if it attempts to connect to a DataPower endpoint using plain
socatas a server. Update the PR and merge appropriately once that's done. Also check out the commit description for details.Black Duck scan for completeness: https://blackduck.corp.appdynamics.com/api/projects/783bbd22-3fe9-4815-839b-fdfd7c2ad32c/versions/96f6b796-b0a3-49e0-92b1-a55deb841fc1/components (EDIT: fixed link)
