Java 8 adoption is faster than expected (at least for me). More than one important project is switching to it as a minimum requirement during the next months. 
A couple of examples: 
- EclipseLink 2.7.0: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/
- current Spring Integration master: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration/blob/master/build.gradle (see source and target compatibility for project spring-integration-core).

It's quite surprising, though, that there's no official way to install
it on the current Ubuntu LTS version.

Title:
  [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in 14.04

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.
