There's a new JVM around the block: https://www.eclipse.org/openj9/ We could also add a -bin package, like icedtea has.

(hint: it's me) Sorry, that came out stronger than intended. I can see that there are binaries in this case. I'd be reluctant to use them when the source is available though. icedtea-bin is primarily there to bootstrap other JVMs.

ebuilds at my overlay https://cgit.alxu.ca/gentoo-overlay.git support 9999, bin, jre-bin, debug, large-heap for 11, 14, and 15. javafx unimplemented for 14+, untested for 11. in theory 8 should be simple, but java is annoying enough as it is, I cba to untangle and test an obsolete version.
