Taylor, et al,

Appreciate the feedback. However, my searching (14 registered repositories, RHEL and SL documents, RHEL/SL 6 releases of java 1.8 and security updates) finds no SL 7 supported rpm for java 1.8.

So, does RHEL/SL 6 java 1.8 release work on SL 7 or has it been packaged for RHEL/SL 7? If for 7, it seems not to be in an SL or RHEL repository?

Thanks again,
Mark Hansel

Why two? If one critical application doesn't work without Oracle Java, then
I'm going to install Oracle Java to get it working. For me that application
is WebEx meetings. Feel free to try for yourself though. I'd love to be
proven wrong:

(I was never able to get all the features working with OpenJDK, particularly
desktop sharing)
 
      Seriously: I've heard this again and again since Java.... 1.4?
      I've not actually encountered any instance except where someone
      hardoced something, deliberately, to *insist* on it. And ever
      since
      Java 1.5.0, as soon as I or a colleague broke that lock, the
      alternative OpenJDK worked just fine.


You're one of the lucky ones I guess.
