Solaris 11.4 comes with Java 8. More and more free and open-source software components we use require more modern Java environments and won't run with Java 8 anymore.
This PR brings back the OpenJDK build engine which was originally offered by Oracle.
In the meantime, it has been extended by some patches to allow building JDK-9 .. JDK-17 flawlessly up to Solaris 11.4 SRU 52. I've also successfully tested building the OpenJDKs in SRU 42 which has been released in the CBE edition which is important for FOSS developers who need a modern Solaris system in order to develop and test their software components for Solaris.
