config clearly states java 11, builder uses java 13, causes build failure, see worker information for more details.

`jdk:` is ignored for OSX. Use `osx_image: xcode10.1` if you need JDK 11.

Really? Why is that not _clearly_ documented somewhere? The first link says that “testing against multiple Java versions is not supported”, but clicking the link it refers to [The macOS Build Environment - Travis CI](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/osx/#jdk-and-macos) says:

> While Mac jobs **can test against multiple JDK versions using the [`jdk` key](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/java/#testing-against-multiple-jdks)**, …

What gives? 😕

So, I tried this and your statement seems to be wrong (as of today) because my job was using the specified OpenJDK 11 image instead after setting the `jdk` key.
