The current version does simply not work at all with OpenJDK11. Given that we need a new upstream release, which I expect to introduce significant changes, we may run into trouble with qualifying for a "soft-freeze" update. It seems safer to upload (and test, i.e., have it migrated to testing), way before Feb 12 2019.

There are files unconditionally built that #include <jni.h>. You might be suggesting to use OpenJDK-8 to build, but "simply" not ship the libbluray-bdj package. That would effectively drop support for BD menus from Debian, which is why I wouldn't consider this as a viable plan B. -- regards, Reinhard
