Please start building OpenJDK+OpenJ9 for jdk11

[pshipton]

The jdk11 repo is https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11

Steps needed now that initial prototyping has been done:

• Confirm from openj9 team that --with-freetype=bundled is the right option for JDK11
• Install suitable JDK10 boot jdk on each machine so each job doesn't need to pull down its own copy
• Expand build jobs to other architectures (Linux ppcle and s390x)
• Expand build jobs to cover AIX
• Expand build jobs to cover Windows
• Set up test jobs
• Create pipelines
• Set up new release on the website

I understand from @adamfarley that the branch names are now in sync with the other versions so this should "just" be a matter of duplicating the jenkins jobs which we have for 10.

:fingers crossed:

Initial job created for Linux/x64 https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/all/job/openjdk11_openj9_build_x86-64_linux/
Job is currently running from my fork pending integration of #419

[sxa]

Within that job:

• Boot JDK being dynamically pulled from the hotspot adoptopenjdk release for now
• FREETYPE_DIRECTORY=bundled in the environment as the configure command doesn't accept a directory to --with-freetype= any more - insists on only bundled or system

First build now available: https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/work%20in%20progress/job/openjdk11_openj9_build_x86-64_linux/

Added "Steps needed" to the original description

Created jobs for the other two linux platforms supported by openj9. I've heard AIX may be more problematic ...

Test jobs added:
https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/all/job/openjdk11_j9_openjdktest_x86-64_linux/
https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/all/job/openjdk11_j9_openjdktest_s390x_linux/
https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/all/job/openjdk11_j9_openjdktest_ppc64le_linux/

Need to triage the x86_linux failure (need to explicitly handle the native tests), and will run the other 2 when builds become available.

Test failure can be addressed with an update to TEST.ROOT (see ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11#5), same approach as was done for openjd9-openjdk-jdk10).

AIX job: https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/JDK11%20WIP/job/openjdk11_openj9_build_ppc64_aix/2/console

Failure to build on AIX (seen by the OpenJ9 team already):

checking for readlink... no
configure: error: Could not find required tool for READLINK

@smlambert @pshipton I presume you are both happy for this now to be closed :-)
I'm going to close it, please reopen if any concerns remain
