Hi Rene

I would be delighted as a developer,and it's not really an issue for my run
as I use the docker images

One thing to keep in mind is the enforcement of jigsaw modules this
could be great in the long run (reduced jre.size with excluded modules)
But it can also be a pain requiring passing command line arguments to
enable opens required by libs.

I'm not sure how bad it will be for James but at work we ended up using
allopens which kinda defeats the purpose

But still go, staying on an EOLed jre is bad for dev exp and operational
security
