openjdk8 @8u292_0, openjdk11 @11.0.11, openjdk16 @0:16.0.1_0: install fails, missing JavaNativeFoundation

[JBYoshi (Jonathan Browne)]

Whenever I try to install OpenJDK 8, 11, or 16 through MacPorts, I get an error that the port is broken. Digging through the debug logs, I found the following error:

Could not open /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/JavaNativeFoundation.framework/Versions/A/JavaNativeFoundation: Error opening or reading file (referenced from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk16/Contents/Home/lib/libawt.dylib)

The JavaNativeFoundation file linked above doesn't exist on my system (macOS Big Sur 11.5, arm64).

I don't have an arm64 machine to test or debug this, but AdoptOpenJDK hasn't provided any builds for arm64 so far. They are currently in the process of rebranding to Eclipse Temurin (​https://www.adoptium.net) and I don't know if they will provide arm64 builds. Azul Zulu OpenJDK does have arm64 distributions available, so you could try installing the openjdk*-zulu ports.

I've created a pull request for adding Eclipse Temurin and changing openjdk8 into a meta port that installs either Eclipse Temurin or Azul Zulu, depending on the system architecture. When Eclipse Temurin releases are out for other Java versions, I plan on doing the same for those.
