https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272855 --- Comment #2 from Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Michael Osipov from comment #1) I was referring to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html . For= JDK 8, "Premier support" was stopped in March 2022. Switching default JDK version will not prevent ports that required older Ja= va versions from working, by the way. As of today, only the following ports requires Java 8: cad/sweethome3d games/sokobano java/berkeley-db java/java3d java/sqlitejdbc lang/bsh sweethome3d, sokobano requires Java 8 features that are removed. berkeley-db is an Oracle product and I doubt it really requires Java 8. java3d is outdated and unmaintained. It is used by sweethome3d so it should probably be forked into two ports, with the ancient version kept to support Java 8 only ports. sqlitejdbc is abandonware. Other distributions have moved to @taroleo's fo= rk (https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/) and we should probably do the same. I haven't looked into bsh, but version 2.1.1 is likely to work just fine wi= th newer Java. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
