Hi Ferrie I heard that before in other places, but I am bit concerned with this stance, because: AFAICT Debian Jessie based on OpenJDK 7 and this basically is not really supported, is it ? All work seems to go toward OpenJDK 8/Java 8 and now Java 9.
So,I think it is unfortunate that OpenJDK 8 is only available through the Jessie back ports. But still, I think this should not prevent users from using it. But that is your take, for sure. Just some other light on this strange Debian situation.
