[stable-release]: Update Java SE to version 17

    • Icon: Improvement Improvement
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Icon: Normal Normal
    • None
    • None

      Please add Java SE 17 to the portage tree!
      The latest version in portage-tree (1.8.0.202) is still part of Java SE 8

      Newer Java software depends on features which are not included in Java SE 8.

      So right now funtoo servers can't run all java applications.

      Affected by this problem is oracle java as well as openjdk.

      Oracle Java SE 8 won't recieve free updates after March 2022 (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html)

      Oracle Java SE 17 sources are found at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java17

      OpenJDK 17 sources are found at https://jdk.java.net/17/

      One example for software depending on Java SE 17 are current versions of minecraft and the minecraft-server-software spigot.

       

      Packets to update:

      dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin
      dev-java/oracle-sdk-bin

      dev-java/openjdk
      dev-java/openjdk-bin
      dev-java/openjdk-jre-bin

      (maybe more)

       

      Way to reproduce my Problem:

      On my system currently installed is:

       # emerge -s "%oracle-j..-bin"
      
      [ Results for search key : %oracle-j..-bin ]

      I did run the following script to build the current version of spigot on my funtoo server:

      #!/bin/bash
      
      # This script does the build process to download the latest git sources
      # and compile them as described at
      # http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bukkit-craftbukkit-spigot-1-8.36598/
