Minimalistic POM for Java 11 and Java EE 8

One of the greatest news with Java EE 7 and 8, is that there is ONE dependency for the entire Java EE.

And here is a minimalistic POM for your Java EE 8 projects with Java 11. I also added junit, hamcrest, mockito and in-memory DB H2 and mysql jdbc driver which are not necessary, but I use them a lot, so I added them for convenience.
