Changing it up just a touch…. I got it to build fine inside of Ubuntu 16 (and, just for kicks, Kubuntu, since I prefer KDE as a GUI) without flaw.
But when I try to do it in a Docker image, I get a weird configure error: “Could not find cpio!” Googling around reveals that cpio (as far as apt packaging is concerned) is replaced by tar, which is definitely in the image. And I didn’t run into this problem when I was doing in a real VM (as opposed to Docker), so I’m a little surprised by all this. On top of that, I just got an OpenJDK 9 image to build fine inside of Docker right before I started to do the same for 8. So…. Any thoughts? BTW, if you want to have a look at the Dockerfiles, they’re at https://bitbucket.org/TedNeward/docker . (I put all the images that aren’t part of applications or platforms into this one repo. I find it easier to keep track of them that way for demos and stuff.) They’re in openjdk8 and openjdk9, respectively.

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.

I haven’t done this in a while, so I jumped onto Google and took the first URL in a description that seemed correct.
