Yes, it is the old jpackage wrapper (modified), and that wrapper actually packages these in a way compatible with all other Java versions we have on SL(C)/CentOS/RHEL 5/6/7 systems (openjdk/sun/oracle/ibm, 1.5,1.6,1.7 and 1.8). (BTW: these 1.8 packages are not up to date, new versions will be released soon) Cheers Jarek
