Dear all, please CC me as I am not subscribed. As per JEP322 http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/322 , JRE and JDK are going to be released in a strictly time-based fashion in the future, starting with Java10 in March of this year and every 6 months after that. As a Java user and developer on FreeBSD, I'd like to inquire how this change will affect the FreeBSD ports. We currently have java/openjdk[6,7,8] but do not have a java/openjdk9 port yet, which reached general availability in September of last year. Thanks, Johannes
