Oracle Java 9 reached end of support

[yzg]

In the regular world update, I got the following oracle jdk update:

Code: Select all

[ebuild  NSF   ]  dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-9.0.4-r2:9::gentoo [1.8.0.181:1.8::gentoo] USE="alsa cups fontconfig gtk2 javafx -commercial -doc (-gentoo-vm) -gtk3 -headless-awt -nsplugin (-selinux) -source" 346,325 KiB

Since oracle jdk is fetch restricted, the emerge prints this message

Code: Select all

If you browse to the specified URL, you will find out that Oracle removed the Java SE 9 page.

Should Java 9 be masked or removed from the tree?

If you use sencond url you can download package, but yes probably java 9 should be masked for security reason

But you need Oracle account to download.
