These are available on this private repo [0] (did not build the i686). I also wrote this wiki section in order to give some insight [1]. Before pushing it to [testing], I would love some feedback. Anyone interested in testing these packages is welcome to give feedback. To do so, just add these to your pacman.conf: [galaux_jdk] Server = http://pkgbuild.com/~guillaume/repos/jdk/$arch Does the install runs OK? Is your "JRE" and "JDK" fully functionnal after install? Are you able to switch from install to another? Suggestions etc… [0] http://pkgbuild.com/~guillaume/repos/jdk/ [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java#Multiple_official_Java_environments

I must have missed that. Thank you very much for sharing this. I have included your versionning scheme and use of upstream tarball in my PKGBUILD. Up to date packages are available on the repo [0]. Also you might be interested in the very last version of the sources [1] (branch "with-meta" uses meta JDK packages as explained earlier on this thread. Be careful though, branch master is not exactly up to date). I did not use patches for system libs, I will "stay vanilla" until IcedTea take care of it.

Hi Guillaume, I really appreciate your work, but are the versioning of the openjdk8* packages correct? They should be 8.u0_b132 or simply 8.u0 instead of 8.u132... By the way I also made a PKGBUILD [1] based on yours and it's currently on 8u5. The prebuilt packages are available on the OBS [2]. It added some packages from Fedora to use system libs. No idea whether they fit Arch. Regards, Boyan Ding [1] https://github.com/dboyan/openjdk8-noicedtea [2] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dboyan:/openjdk8/Arch_Extra/

They come with a set of "meta" packages that hold common files as well as a simple script "archlinux-java" that enables to switch default JDKs. Use of this script is optional as it only modifies the following link "/usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime": this can easily be done by hand. Issues, remarks, feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [0] http://pkgbuild.com/~guillaume/repos/jdk/ -- Guillaume

You are right in that there is no particular hurry: 7 is not broken nor is there any particular weakness. Nevertheless OpenJDK8 is now officially out and in a stable release so it should be packaged at one time. Waiting for IcedTea8 is a possibility that I mentionned on arch-dev-public [0]. As for when it will be released, IcedTea devs state "probably based on u20" but I admit this does not give me even a rough idea of when this should be. This I am going to ask on the IcedTea mailing list. This would help in making the decision. [0] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-March/026082.html

Is 7 broken, or is it a security weakness? Why not waiting for icedtea8 to be released? If it's not clear when, then why not interacting with upstream to find out, and provide help if needed (testing or whatever)? -- Javier.
