Hi! > With the Java FreeBSD mailing list pretty quiet, I thought I might ask > here whether anyone was working on porting the latest Java versions over > to FreeBSD. There's the openjdk port, java/openjdk8. You are asking about input from the FreeBSD community to openjdk9, 10 and 11 ? > While Java 8 will be quite satisfactory for a while, the longer Java > advances without BSD patches the harder it will be to bring across all > the good work done for Java 8 on FreeBSD. This is correct. > Are there plans for the Foundation to sponsor some work in this area? Your point is, that the FreeBSD community should do regular testbuilds for https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk9u/ https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk10u/ https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk11u/ and provide patches if something does not build or work, right ? And, if necessary, fund someone to do that work ? -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 One year to go !
