+
+Having a vivid Java environment is useful for all kinds of applications of FreeBSD.
+
+The default JAVA_VERSION in FreeBSD ports is changed from 8 to 21 on February 26th.
+This was a major step in versions.
+So quite some work was involved.
+This is all done now.
+
+All ports known to break were fixed and no regressions have been reported since.
+The 2026Q2 ports branch will be the first stable ports branch having OpenJDK 21 as the default Java version.
+
+* A big thank you to all people involved
+* Work has been started to make 25 the new JAVA_DEFAULT in main during Q2
