The removal from testing was intended (we already shipped only one JDK in the last two releases), but the removal from unstable was a mistake. We'll need OpenJDK 8 to bootstrap SBT (and probably Kotlin too) after the Buster release. > Except: have you any confidence that all the Java applications in Debian > actually work properly with OpenJDK 11? Yes, we've worked hard on the transition to Java 11, fixing more than 500 issues over a year. Incompatible packages have been either upgraded, fixed or removed. The notable exception right now is netbeans (#925509). > Red Hat still have hard dependencies on Java 8 > for much of their stuff, including Maven. Maven 3.6 works very well with OpenJDK 11. It currently builds more than 550 packages flawlessly in Buster. Emmanuel Bourg
