https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239816 Greg Lewis <glewis@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |Works As Intended Status|New |Closed CC| |glewis@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Greg Lewis <glewis@FreeBSD.org> --- As Michael notes, the JRE is no longer being distributed by Oracle for either JDK 11 or 12. Same with AdoptOpenJDK. This stack overflow posting is relevant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52714672/is-there-an-openjdk-11-jre Particularly since the author is a Java product manager at Oracle. Basically it sounds like there is no such thing as an official JRE any more. Instead you can use jlink to create a custom distribution containing only the modules that are needed for your application. However, that's not something you'd want in the ports system necessarily. So yes, you could do a separate port which limited itself to the set of tools that were previously in the JRE, but I'd question the benefits of FreeBSD branching out to do something like this. Absent patches to do just that, I'm going to close this, but please feel free to create such a port and post some patches for comment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
