Given that CDT has been running for a while on Java 11, and that Java 11 will have been out for 2 years (in September) I think it this is OK. I don’t think it would be bad either to update the BREE of CDT bundles. In the past it would have made more sense to do it for the June release but not necessarily anymore.
I don’t know what’s the state of the Tycho build with Java 11 but I vaguely remember some weirdness that might need figuring out before the September release.

Mickael Istria and me spent quite some time to make sure that Tycho works with Java 11 (with the caveat that when run on Java 11 running EE is used instead of static EE definition due to modularity). Eclipse Platform has been built with Tycho 11 during the 2020-03 development and I'm currently not aware of Java 11 tycho issues. If you know such please open a bug and put me on CC.
 
I would also suggest to add a note about the planned new requirement in the just-released CDT release notes and the June one, to give more visibility.

Please see below.

This probably means that CDT should also be Java 11 for 2020-09 release. Please share your thoughts on this. 

Thanks,

Hello cross project people,
 
The Eclipse Project PMC has approved a change to the target environments for the 2020-09 Eclipse release of the Eclipse Project (that is, our 4.17 release) to be based on Java 11. This will allow us to include Jetty 10, when it is available as indicated here:
 
Given that this change has the potential to impact downstream projects, we are asking for feedback now: please let us know if you believe this will cause problems for your project.
 
Note that we are not asking teams to update the BREE for their components, and it is fine for components to support earlier versions of Java. This note is just identifying the version of Java that we will use to validate the September release, and thus will be the supported version for the Eclipse SDK.
 
thanks,
the Eclipse Project PMC
