It would be great if it could land at least in Trusty, so that we don't have a LTS version where the only available Java version is quite outdated. I expect many Java programs to require Java 8 some time while Trusty is still supported.
In fact, I am also a Java developer, and we will surely switch to Java 8 somewhere in the next 2 years. As most of our users are based on LTS versions of Ubuntu, having Java 8 in Trusty would be a major improvement for us. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297065 Title: [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1297065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
