Supply Java 11 for z/OS IM installable package in repository manager at http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/

The current Java 11 for z/OS IM installable package is only available from FixCentral, however when we're using IM to manage Liberty on z/OS we uses the online repository manager available at http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/ to directly install packages for LIberty and the Java SDK if possible, only iFixes not yet available in the online repository is handled with pre downloaded packages.

e.q. LIberty and Java 8 for z/OS are available at com.ibm.websphere.liberty.zOS , Java 8 for z/OS at com.ibm.java.jdk.v8 .

Actually Java 11 is already available at com.ibm.java.jdk.v11, however only for distributed including linux.s390x

Using the online repository manager directly from IM makes the steps of managing Liberty/Java binaries much simpler and easier to automate.
