The problem with openjdk-8-jre involves building the package (aka compiling), not the actually running of the IDE. Unless I'm misunderstanding something you are saying. The openjdk-8-jre has been updated in launchpad since I made my last comment. Maybe it will work now with the updates. I haven't tried.
