I read a bit and setting USE_JAVA2 to 'yes' does that, so I just
switched apache-maven to that.

However, the default on -current/x86_64 is OpenJDK 17 - we should
probably change that at some point, but I'll leave that up to people
who actually know Java.

Feel free to improve it: pkgsrc/mk/java*mk

I agree.

Hm, so I guess I'll have to use the Linux binary instead :-(
