This is accurate. We haven't attempted to pass the JCK for any port more
recent than Java 5 IIRC. At that point we did get a port that had passed,
but that required a lot of work which was sponsored at the time by the
FreeBSD Foundation. I'm not aware of anyone attempting it since.

One of the conditions for getting a port into JDK mainline has been that
it should actually pass the JCK for the current version. I think that's
a low enough bar that should remain in place for JDK 9 and beyond.
FWIW, I agree that is a completely reasonable bar to meet. Unfortunately
with the lack of time of the people involved it has been difficult to meet
this. I expect this will again require a funded effort to again have
someone be able to devote enough time to actually meet this bar. The
points below only serve to reinforce that. In "funded effort" I'm
including making it part of somebodies paid job to get the port passing
the JCK and ensure it continues to do so as needed.
Thanks, Greg. I hope that you'll be able to either find an organization
willing to sponsor/fund the effort or suitable volunteers, or, ideally,
both.
cheers,
