I have a scala application that uses scala 2.11 and Java 11 and runs in tomcat . I had to move to Java 11 from Java 8 due to some dependency issues.
In the past I ran this app on elastic beanstalk (back when the app used to run on java 8). However it doesn't look like there's an elastic beanstalk platform for java 11. Do I need to find a new way to deploy and run my app or is there a simple way to get elastic beanstalk to run java11?
Ive tried using the ebextensions approach described at Java 11 on AWS beanstalk for Spring boot project but its not working, and it seems like its working around a problem with elastic beanstalk being stuck in the past. I feel like its time to forget elastic beaanstalk but its worked well up til now so I'm reluctant to do so without a clear alternative.
According to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/platforms/platforms-supported.html#platforms-supported.java the latest elastic beanstalk platform offered is java 8 with tomcat 8.5 According to the docs, the latest tomcat version for Elastic Beanstalk is
