+
+Java is an important environment for running some application on FreeBSD.
+The OpenJDK ports are activaly maintained and up to date.
+Since October 2025 OpenJDK 25 LTS is available in the ports tree.
+
+Building on the groundwork of moving ports to OpenJDK 21 the switch of JAVA_DEFAULT to 25 is a much smaller step.
+Most Java ports compile and run without changes.
+Only a handful of ports need some fixes, which is currently in progress.
+
+The work is being tracked in PR 293559.
+
+I think it is reasonable to have the ports in shape for the JAVA_VERSION=25 setting in the second quarter of 2026.
+
+Plan:
+* An exp-run is requested
+* Check the last ports and create a PR or commit
+* Commit the PRs that are timeing out on maintainer feedback
+* Maybe ask for another exp-run
+* If done, increase JAVA_VERSION
