Description Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO 2026-08-02 23:39:41 UTC 
Hello world :-)

I am kindly request for OpenJDK 8 JRE package for Linux-RL9. This is required by older programs requiring java.se.ee that are supposed to work on the Linuxlator layer. java.se.ee was removed in Java 11 (see https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/11u-relnotes.html) so Java 10 should also work.

Debian 11/12/13 has this as nvidia-openjdk-8-jre.

For the RL9 is probably this one:
https://rockylinux.pkgs.org/9/rockylinux-appstream-x86_64/ant-openjdk8-1.10.9-15.el9.noarch.rpm.html

It would be nice to also add package with latest (25 and 21 LTS?) openjdk-jre to linux-rl9 :-)

Thank you :-)
Tomek

I can try to make ports for rl9 openjdk distribution when got some time
Btw, you pointed to Ant bindings instead of jdk itself
