When using Java 11.0.1 I get the following exception when using encrypt-channel=true in my transactor.properties file:

```auto
20:16:53.188 ERROR default o.a.activemq.artemis.core.client - AMQ214016: Failed to create netty connection
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: handshake timed out
	at io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandler.handshake(...)(Unknown Source) ~[netty-all-4.0.39.Final.jar:4.0.39.Final]

```

encrypt-channel=false works. I tested with Datomic 0.9.5786 and 0.9.5561.50. I think it’s an issue with Java, but not entirely sure.

The transactor currently requires Java 8.  
We are working on supporting newer versions of Java in a future release.

We have a feature tracker request for this here: [https://receptive.io/app/#/case/72111](https://receptive.io/app/#/case/72111)

Ok, wasn’t aware. Thanks
