Thank you!
It rather seems they want to remove it.
Just a note that Oracle apparently wants you to sign up for an account now before downloading their JDK. I started using OpenJDK 11 today on my Slackware VPS which runs several Java-based Discord bots and it seems fine. What actually is holding it back for mainstream Gentoo use? I installed OpenJDK 11 anyway, it runs fine though LibreOffice (the compiled version, not -bin) doesn't seem to recognize the OpenJDK folder as valid. I can't find any information about what actually doesn't work with OpenJDK 11, other than that the current packages seem to ignore the gentoo-vm USE flag when I add it.

Yes, creating account is one thing that stops me from bumping it, to download it I have to agree and I don't =) The reason :11 is non-functional as system java is eclasses and packages. oversimplified example: many packages define dependency on java like >=1.5 for example. which will match 11, but it'll fail to build because jdk-11 compiles 1.8+ only I haven't really looked at it yet deep enough, but there's an effort going of getting rid of many old obsolete java packages in gentoo. so things may improve a bit later. as a standalone java, just for running jars or even apps it works quite well. you just have to call it via full path and eselect java-vm does not "see" it (unless you manage to enable gentoo-vm useflag) so broken means broken with portage. feel free to use as standalone, it's quite great, especially ZGC.

This should remove the gentoo-vm USE mask: mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile echo "dev-java/openjdk-bin -gentoo-vm" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask
It's 11.0.5 now.
Because this ebuild pulls 11.0.2 and Oracle publishes 11.0.5, the ebuild is useless.
It seems 13th version also released: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html#JDK13
