you please show us more details? :-)

I was not really arguing that FreeBSD shouldn't obsolete java/jdk[12], 
especially the dependencies between ports.  I was just trying to see if 
other people might want the java/jdk11 port to generate/test code that 
works on old jdk-1.1 systems (like the Microsoft VM, possibly some JME 
environments).
