+
+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 timeing out on maintainer feedback
+* Ask for another exp-run
+* If done, increase JAVA_VERSION
