Hi Magnus , for OpenJDK11 (11u) we might mention the packages . For the
jdk/jdk it probably does not make much sense and the URLs are the way to go .
Best regards, Matthias

Btw. Speaking about help.m4 help output , the mentioning of openjdk-8-jdk
in the various package-installer help outputs seems to be outdated and

I think we would need jdk11 by now (or soon jdk12, but I am not sure
about package availability at the various distros for 12).
I agree. It's a bit of a problem, because the availability of the N-1 JDK
needed to compile is not regularly available through the normal distro package
system, as other dependencies are.
I suspect we should stop referring to using the system package installer for
the boot jdk, and instead point to http://jdk.java.net for the core platforms,
and https://adoptopenjdk.net/ for the rest.
