AdoptOpenJDK and JDK11

[Barry van Someren]

Hi Ashik,

I'm by no means an expert in what's happening, but it looks like the
porting work is already being done on a forked git repo from AdoptOpenJDK,
so upstreaming their work should be possible.

I've been slowly moving all my stuff to FreeBSD; Some of my customers also
want Docker so I essentially run a FreeBSD network with some Docker
machines running Java.
Other customers are fine with just getting a JVM on a stable OS (and they
don't push for Java 11 yet). I'll be testing their deployments on JDK11
going forward.

Regards,

Barry
