On the [*FreeBSD Ports Search*](https://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html) page, I see results listing an item
openjdk11-11.0.4+11.1
.
When I try to install that:
$ sudo pkg install openjdk11-11.0.4+11.1
…I get error saying the package could not be found:
>Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
>
>FreeBSD repository is up to date.
>
>All repositories are up to date.
>
>pkg: No packages available to install matching 'openjdk11-11.0.4+11.1' have been found in the repositories
➥ What am I missing here? What is the proper way to install Java/OpenJDK 11 or 12 on FreeBSD 12?
