Java 8?

[Emnasut]

Is there a Java 8 runtime for the Pandora?  In the repo I only found java 7:

I have not seem an Oracle Java 8 built for ARM SoftFP, I have only seen for ARMHF.

I have not seen an OpenJDK 8 on arm neither.

Java 8 only has hard-float versions of their runtime/JDK... Java 7 was the last to support a soft-float version that are Pandora compatible. Java 8 would work of course with Pandian or any other alternative OS that uses hard-float libraries and such... there just isn't a hard-float SGX driver other wise we most likely would be using a hard-float system long ago.

Ah that's too bad. Hm will the Pyra have the same problem then?

No we're running a hard-float distribution and the SGX drivers should be hard-float as well. I'm running Java 8 on the devboard too.

Pyra OS is ARMHF, so no, not the same issue. Java 8 should be available.

Cool, I'll manage till the Pyra's here then. Thanks for all the answers!

Sorry. I spent a few hours trying to get OpenJDK to compile for ARM and just got nothing but frustration.

Anyone know what happened to IcedTea? I'm surprised there's still no OpenJDK 8 version and can't find any roadmap on when it will be out.
