Yeah, I’ve got build-dep and openjdk-8. I’ll have a look at the source, but this begs a question: Why hasn’t it been backported to the JDK8 repo, if it’s a known fix?

I suggest having a look at the Debian packaging source for the openjdk-8 package which is also used in Ubuntu (the maintainer is Matthias Klose in both cases) [1]. Have a look at the patches in debian/patches as well as the build script in debian/ rules. This should give you the right idea on what is necessary to OpenJDK 8 build on Ubuntu. Please also make sure you have the necessary build dependencies installed: # apt build-dep openjdk-8 Adrian > [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openjdk/openjdk/openjdk8/files -- .''`.
