https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272855 --- Comment #47 from Ronald Klop <ronald@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Alex Dupre from comment #10) (In reply to Alex Dupre from comment #44) Hi, valid question about opendjk25. I have a couple of reasons for my choice. For me the most important reasons are: * Mind that this project started in 2020 with bug #251774 for openjdk11, unfortunately that PR lost traction after quite some effort. * This PR started in 2023 for an update to 17. Got quite some effort, but the issue lost traction also. * I first wanted to materialize the investment for the update to 21. This reduces scope creep and reduces the risk of an unfinished project. And some (IMHO) less important reasons: * openjdk21 is in the ports tree since Oct 2023 and is used by a couple of other actively used ports, so it is proven to be stable enough for production usage (on FreeBSD). * openjdk25 is in the ports tree since Oct 2025 and is not used by any other port yet. Having said that. Locally I already ran a test compile with JAVA_DEFAULT=25 and that looks promising. All the work needed for 21 pays off for the update to 25. So I'm planning to open an issue for JAVA_DEFAULT=25 and ask for an exp-run, but I will wait with landing that change until the next quarterly (2026Q2) has branched or even later depending on the feedback on the JAVA_DEFAULT=21 change. If you have specific needs for openjdk25 to be the default, please engage in the java@freebsd.org mailinglist. That can help trigger more feedback on the wish for this.
