Which JDK works on freebsd?
https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/
Not by Temurin. The FreeBSD team ports the OpenJDK releases and make them available as pre-built binaries to their pkg package manager for their FreeBSD end users, but they don't release them as tarballs anywhere on the net, as far as I know.
Without that there will be no JustJ JREs...
No, unfortunately. But the Eclipse packages can still be built for FreeBSD without embedded JREs.

Providing special case support would complicate builds significantly so that is unlikely to go very far...
I've built Eclipse packages for FreeBSD without problems (and without any embedded JREs) in my fork of the eclipse-packages project, with only some trivial changes.
If you're talking about the Eclipse installer app and its JustJ requirement, to produce an Eclipse package on demand, then it may not work for FreeBSD. But the installer app does allow the user to pick a local JDK/JRE installation for it:
So I see no problem with it, once the installer is ported to run in FreeBSD. BTW, where is this installer's source code?
Closing as there isn't a viable path forward for FreeBSD.
