Description
The dependency makes opencv unusable in Java 8 environments. Alternatively provide a special port for Java8.

I am talking about that variant I'd love to get a +java variant that does not depend on Java 12. E.g. either fix +java or create a +java8 so that Java 8 can still be used. I need to upgrade openCV 3.4.3 in an Java8 environment.

Is the java 12 dependency an upstream effector or introduced my macports?

I believe the choice of Java 12 was arbitrary to ensure a recent Java is installed; OpenCV 3.4 appears to still have support for older versions, so I propose lowering it to 1.6+ (or to no higher than 1.8+). I would prefer an LTS Java version be specified as the fallback so that the fallback doesn't have to be adjusted as often.
I have opened a PR to address this: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/6922

I'm afraid this issue was reintroduced during the update to 3.4.10: [d98d7d7369/macports-ports]
opencv should only be using java 12 if you have requested the +java variant. If you don't want opencv to do that, don't request that variant.
