[Philipp Wendler <1341628@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

During the life time of 14.04, we expect many Java applications to switch to and rely on Java 8
(given the nice programming benefits this offers, the switch probably happens faster than for e.g. Java 7).
We are considering making this change for our own open-source Java application, too.

Thus 14.04 should offer a convenient way to install openjdk-8.

Status in “openjdk-8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  openjdk-8 is now available in Utopic:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1297065

  According to the comments in that bug, a separate bug needs to be
  reported for backporting.

  I am especially interested in a package for 14.04, hence raising this
  specific bug.
