Hi, I tried to search for documentation regarding the new Java handling. All I found is https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Wrapping_dependencies.html?highlight=java, which doesn’t quite tell me how I should do this.
This is the first time I want to install software using the new Java 1.8 module wrapper. As supplied with EB 3.7.1, it want’s to build Java /1.8.0_181, with the tar ball no longer available a the oracle website. I can currently get 8u191 and 8u192. How is that now supposed to work in a “future” proof way. If I create a java 1.8 in my local directory, pointing to 8u192, it will overrule any future updates (incl bug fixes) to Java 1.8 that come with future EB releases. (I got burned by old develop version overruling fixed version inside EB in the past). Any pointers/ideas on how this should be done? -thanks- Best wishes Joachim
