Thank you for the rebuild Matthias. I see some new packages since the last rebuild in April [1]. I'm surprised to see Ant in the list, the error doesn't seem related to OpenJDK 8. Also I'm a bit puzzled by the errors on mina2, modello and modello1.4, I have never been able to reproduce them with pbuilder but it seems they are still there. > I won't have time to analyse the results and file bug reports until mid > October, > so please go ahead. plus I'm not sure if the transition would be a good thing > for jessie. See #760984. Having openjdk-8 in backports without any commitment > on security updates seems to be the better option. What about providing only the JDK in Jessie without the Java plugin? Currently the target audience for Java 8 are the developers. Oracle is still distributing Java 7 on its java.com website aimed at the end users. It would be less critical to provide timely security updates for a JDK used for development purpose than fixing a JRE executing applets on the web.
