Yes. Before you can compile and install jdk13 you need to have installed jdk13. Start by installing the Diablo JDK port -- which is a pre-compiled JDK. In fact, if the Diablo JDK fulfils your needs, that's all you need to do. In any case, the Diablo JDK should be sufficient to compile jdk13. Make sure you unset 'JAVA_HOME' before you start the compile.
