Howdy Joachim,
The file you need is jdk-8u181-linux-x64.tar.gz
You should be able to find in archive/oldversions link
at Oracle site. Put that in your normal EB j/Java
SOURCEDIR.
EB uses .modulerc to do "magic" behind the scenes
to change the subversions for Java non underscored
versions now.
Wasn't the method I suggested and I don't much care
for the .modulerc magic but at least it is a step in
some direction to address the problem (keeping
Java version numbers upgradeable).
I recall getting errors indicating problems with the new
setup but it seemed to have done most of the what
it needed to.

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
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__easybuild.readthedocs.io_en_latest_Wrapping-5Fdependencies.html-3Fhighlight-3Djava&d=DwMGaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=yuyoBkmTkIQPbv1BTF9U27ww5Lm7GhsMmWcQG9gmjbA&m=lEw7pkBVMteLvtA__MpIrzYODie7ACOBklik27IJrPo&s=BG96La2IrGzKY5wYTPuL7iT1sdcycoLpvoKGr-ZZxHE&e=>,
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
