Build issues should be fixed in git. OpenJDK 11 can be used to build
the package, and resulting Java binary code is compatible with OpenJDK
6...11.

There are still few runtime issues, so libbluray does not try to load
JVM 9 ... 11 yet. But these remaining issues are more or less trivial,
and just need some testing.

I've switched to use OpenJDK 11. OpenJDK 9 and 10 are still more or
less untested, but 11 seems more important version to support.

What kind of schedule do you have ? We could have libbluray release
with OpenJDK 11 support in couple of weeks. Even earlier if we fix the
remaining issues and OpenJDK 9/10 issues in later releases. Anyway, I'd
expect some new issues when people start using libbluray with OpenJDK
9..11.
