[Bug 1341628] Re: [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in 14.04

 

+1111eleventyone.

Deeply confused as to why this is wishlist importance still.  As said
above, current/available Java versions will vary through this LTS'
lifespan.

I'm already unable to use certain applications which require openjdk-8
-jre-headless for their latest versions, which fix major / showstopping
bugs in the older versions that require 7, eg the only ones I can
install.  It's almost forcing me to jump server OS entirely.

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.
