I want to run an application that was written in Java8.  It uses Java8
language features, and doesn't work on Java7.  I want to run it on my
32-bit Shillix system.  And I don't want to try to build OpenJDK,
certainly not now, when I have enough to do replacing bash on every
computer I own.  Therefore I am using the Java build that I found on
https://jdk8.java.net/lambda and it seems to be working.  I welcome
further comments from the members of this mailing list.

Of course, thank you, I never noticed that I was runing /bin/sh, not /bin/bash.

Moral of the story:  Neverl operate heavy machinery or shell scripts when tired.
