Hi, I am wondering how EasyBuild handling of Java is intended to be used. I am trying to built R 3.3.3 and 3.4.0 in intel/2017a using the descriptions in EB 3.2.1. The build fails on Java 1.8.0_121. The tarball for this is not automatically downloaded and it seems not easily available any longer. I got the tarball for 1.8.0_131 and hacked to gether a config for 1.8.0_131. Should I now hack into the R configs to move those versions? For sure I can do this, but I am wondering whether there is a more elegant way to do this.
In principle I hit that issue every time there is a Java dependency. Thanks Joachim
