OpenJDK, newer Java versions #4211

Description

@briancolecoinmetrics

Currently https://github.com/tronprotocol/java-tron/blob/develop/build.md says,

JDK 1.8 (JDK 1.9+ are not supported yet)
On Linux Ubuntu system (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS), ensure that the machine has Oracle JDK 8, instead of having Open JDK 8 in the system. If you are building the source code by using Open JDK 8, you will get Build Failed result.

First: OpenJDK works fine and has for a while; we've been building with openjdk-8-jdk-headless and running on openjdk-8-jre-headless on Ubuntu for a while now.

Second: While Java 8 will keep getting security updates for a while yet, it's nearing the end of its normal support life; is there any plan to support newer levels?
