bazel: use Java LTS release 11 for minimum version

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Hi Chris,

Would it be possible to modify the bazel* ports to use Java 11 instead of 12, since Java 11 is an LTS release? I would prefer to have JDK 11 installed on my Mac to be consistent with JDK 11 on my Linux web servers, for the other code I develop.

for bazel-0.25 ​https://docs.bazel.build/versions/0.25.0/install-ubuntu.html says JDK 8 for bazel-2.0 ​https://docs.bazel.build/versions/2.0.0/install-ubuntu.html mentions JDK 8

Thoughts?

Seems reasonable enough. I'll keep the fallbacks as they are, which means the versions the buildbots use will not change.

In 9046c9812113ea798453e38f19ba27e1314e7ccd/macports-ports (master):

bazel: Make JDK 11 minimum required.
Closes: #60450

Thanks for the quick change.

Can I submit this change for bazel-0.25?

Or maybe better is to set java_v to 11+ and java_f to 11, thinking that maybe bazel 0.25.x may not build with newer versions in the future.

Fixed, thanks.
