OpenJDK 8 in Jessie is a must-have in my opinion, and we are now on
track to provide a proper package.
The question of the default-jdk is open for discussion. Fedora 21 will
default to OpenJDK 8 and I wish we could switch as well. David Suarez
has kindly accepted to launch a rebuild of the Java packages with
OpenJDK 8 and we have ~80 packages to fix [1] (see [2] for a summary of
the issues encountered). I started fixing some packages and reporting
the issues upstream, but I think more manpower is needed to fix and
stabilize everything before the freeze.
