Re: Release Announcement: General Availability of Java 12 / JDK 12

This is an initiative by Oracle to keep projects that use the JDK (which we do) informed of updates. They asked several years ago whether they could direct these announcements at our list and I approved the request.

It might be more appropriate to direct them at the gitter channel for AsciidoctorJ. We do respond to these announcements by updating the builds, but it may not be something everyone has to see.

Cheers,
