=== Make OpenJDK 21 the default JAVA_VERSION Links: link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272855[Issue 272855] URL: link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272855[] + link:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17hmRQ0ShY4SHHVEkQBVxqK2G88fPZLriTzO26zXdjC4/edit?usp=sharing[Sheet tracking Work in Progress] URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17hmRQ0ShY4SHHVEkQBVxqK2G88fPZLriTzO26zXdjC4/edit?usp=sharing Contact: Ronald Klop The default JAVA_VERSION in FreeBSD ports is still OpenJDK 8. It is time to upgrade this to a more modern version like OpenJDK 21. We need to test and fix all ports using Java to build or run with JDK 21, or pin JAVA_VERSION in the port to the latest supported version. The work is being tracked in PR 272855 and a Google Sheet for more details. Already more than half of the ports that failed a test run is fixed. If you have experience with Java and the ports system you are invited to help. I think it is reasonable to have the ports in shape for the JAVA_VERSION=21 setting in February 2026. Plan: * Check the last 12 ports and create a PR or commit * Commit the PRs that are timing out on maintainer feedback * Ask for another exp-run * If done, increase JAVA_VERSION
