The current logmanager implementation is incompatible with use with the -Xbootclasspath/a option on JDK 11. This is because it is a multi-release jar which is incompatible with -Xbootclasspath/a. This is problematic because to allow Java Agents to work with JBoss Modules based applications (i.e. WildFly and derivatives) often it is necessary to include logmanager in -Xbootclasspath/a .
Here's me starting WildFly with a -Xbootclasspath/a setting and JDK 11:

Right now jboss-logmanager is a multi-release jar. But, per the MR jar spec (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238) that is incompatible with -Xbootclasspath:
Multi-release jars and the boot loader
Multi-release JARs are not supported by the boot loader (for example, when a multi-release JAR file is declared with the -Xbootclasspath/a option). Such support would complicate the boot loader implementation for what is considered a rare use-case.
At this point I've identified two java agents that are commonly used with WildFly derived apps that cannot be installed in a JDK 11 environment: Hawkular and the Prometheus jmx-exporter. The former we can work around (i.e. don't install it with JDK 11) as it's use is deprecated and it doesn't work with JDK 11 anyway. But being able to use jmx-exporter is quite important.
