OK, so it’s still at java.net; that’s good to know. :-)

Out of curiosity, though, what’s the difference? Why maintain two?

jdk8/jdk8 is the 'historic' source code 'archive' for the development of JDK 8. JDK 8u is what happened since in the updates.

JDK Release Projects like JDK 8 have a special status in Bylaws (see http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#jdk-release-projects) while 'regular' Projects like JDK 8 Updates do not. So updates end up being separate Projects with separate repos.

Well ... you asked. ;)
