Title:
Ubuntu 16.04 removed openJDK-7 from repositories
Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Being an AOSP builder / tester for years, have always used Ubuntu as it's the preferred system environment for AOSP builds. The beta 1 release of Ubuntu 16.04 worked fine, the final released seems to have removed dependencies for using openJDK-7. Would it not be prudent to at least allow openjdk-7 as part of the official repository, at least until everyone has finally
moved onto AOSP "N" software, many of us still build / debug / develop for Lollipop / Marshmallow which need openJDK-7 as specified by AOSP....the various PPA's I've tried all seem to have other issues and would prefer using a standard Ubuntu release instead of having to hack up my build systems.
