Hello,
I would like to make everyone aware of an impending change to JDK 11 concerning the images we build. In [1], currently under review [2], the jre-image will no longer be built by the "images" make target. Oracle intends to no longer ship the JRE in its current form and so we do no longer wish to build it. It will still be possible to build it using the make target "legacy-jre-image" (and "mac-legacy-jre-bundle" for the macos specific image). This should serve the need of any OpenJDK distributor that still wants to produce the legacy jre, while making it clear that it is slated for complete removal in a future release. The "product-bundles" target will no longer produce bundles of the legacy jre.
/Erik
