Installing OpenJDK 11 on Ubuntu 18.04

OpenJDK 11 was released on September 25, 2018. As this is the first LTS release after version 8, it's been a long time coming. After having it installed on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), which comes with a package named openjdk-11-jdk, to my surprise, that was still part of an earlier version (Java 10).

SRU Exception for OpenJDK

The Ubuntu Foundation Team made an SRU exception for OpenJDK. Although version 10 is a non-LTS release, they've packaged it as openjdk-11-jdk until OpenJDK 11 goes GA. This choice was based on that assumption that there is a much smaller interface delta between releases 10 and 11 than it would be between 8 and 11.
