Hello FreeBSD-java-devs (someone here?),
before I post here, I decided to try as much as possible myself first,
to make the JDK 11 work "somehow" on FreeBSD or detect bugs.
First of all, I realized that even the extremely experienced Openjdk-maintainer does not seem to know what goes wrong:
So I recompiled the openjdk under Original C7 (not Freebsd-C7), no problems ... but still Segfault with the newly built OpenJDK under FreeBSD-C7,
which means that because of the lack of native support the libjvm.so does not work at all (JVM can not be built). So the current C7-port is not complete ??? I copied the original C7 lib + lib64 into FreeBSD-C7-lib / lib64, still SIGSEV under FreeBSD.
when trying to compile the original openjdk on FreeBSD C7( chroot into /compat/linux/bin/bash... bootstrap is the linuxjdk10-freebsd-port), I am stuck with freetype (not recognized, though installed).
To compile original openjdk on native-FreeBSD, I once took this patch from GLewis as a guide (as bootstrap jdk must be at least jdk10 for jdk11):
After all, the C-compiler was recognized ... but this time I'm stuck in cups,( is not recognized, although installed.)
Well, java support under FreeBSD can sometimes be quite a torment,
again and again are errors in the patches of the current openjdk8 versions, so you have to constantly search under var/cache/pkg for old, functional versions or checkout older svn.
The current version is again O.K., Thanks, Mr. Lewis.
Sun Microsystems once had a FreeBSD original Java version.
jdk 11 runs everywhere, even under Illumos x 64 ... just not FreeBSD,
we can not accept that!
Say, does nobody help Mr. GLewis here ????
O.K., debugging native code on such a big thing is a blatant job though
please start here: https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk11/raw-file/tip/doc/building.html

sounds complicate but isn't: install mercurial , do the hg-download, type bash configure, try to hack/patch , "everybody" can do this , thank you.
