There's the openjdk port, java/openjdk8.

You are asking about input from the FreeBSD community to openjdk9, 10 and 11 ?

This is correct.

Your point is, that the FreeBSD community should do regular testbuilds for

https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk9u/
https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk10u/
https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk11u/

and provide patches if something does not build or work, right ?

And, if necessary, fund someone to do that work ?
