Headless Java 22?

[thosea]

Is there a headless version of java/openjdk22 that doesn't pull in any X11 dependencies? I noticed there isn't a JRE for anything above java 17.

You'll have to build your own version from ports, without the xorg use flag. See here:

Chapter 4. Installing Applications: Packages and Ports

FreeBSD provides two complementary technologies for installing third-party software: the FreeBSD Ports Collection, for installing from source, and packages, for installing from pre-built binaries

docs.freebsd.org

Section 4.5.2.1 is particularly relevant.

java/openjdk8 had a X11 OPTION you could switch off (it was on by default), that seems to have disappeared with java/openjdk11. Don't know why. It also insists on pulling in CUPS and everything around it. So that option has gone now too.

A 'flavored' port would have been nice though, pkg install openjdk22-nox11 for example. But maybe that's not possible anymore with the newer OpenJDK versions, I don't know, not a Java expert. Also not much of a Java coder. Just need Java to run some Java based applications (Jenkins, Puppetserver), those worked fine on the no X11, no CUPS, no kitchen-sink Java.

That port doesn't have options. but openjdk8 seems to have x11 option back again.

Nope, it's totally me being a crackhead! I don't know which port I looked at that had an xorg use flag. Sorry!
