MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jre9 [2]:

EOL since March 2018, no extended support.
Download 404 (funtoo.org), behind loginwall (Oracle).

I am submitting this deletion request for consideration.
I don't think this package is needed anymore.

Arch still carries jre8-openjdk, and Oracle offers paid access
to Oracle JRE 8 but not for 9.

Rationale for deletion:
1- If this package cannot be salvaged, it is essentially
just spam on AUR. There are already too many legacy JRE
and JDK packages here.
2- EOL since 2018, therefore insecure. No one should use it, there
are alternatives for secure legacy versions.

Please consider and do as you see fit. :)
