As I mentioned, I will update openjdk-7 as long as I need it. If it's okay for you I will send patches for these updates to the ml. From a current point of view it looks like I will provide updates until end of 2016 at least. > > The point is Java is complex and we have few people working on this so > I prefer one well maintained version than 3 oddly ones. I understand that. But currently I have no need for openjdk-8. Therefore my focus is on keeping openjdk-7 up to date. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
