How To Install OpenJDK 11 In Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04 or 14.04 / Linux Mint 19, 18 or 17

Despite OpenJDK 11 being the latest long term release, it’s currently only available in Ubuntu 18.10 and newer. This article explains how to install OpenJDK 11 in Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04 or 14.04, and Linux Mint 19.*, 18.* and 17.*, by using an official Ubuntu PPA.

Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint 19.* users will notice that an openjdk-11-jdk package already exists in the repositories, but the Java version contained by this package is actually 10, and not 11.
