Hi Thomas, You can always build from source on a jessie system or in a jessie chroot by adding a deb-src URL for sid to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then using: $ apt-get source openjdk-8 $ cd openjdk-8 $ debuild -us -uc Be aware that the build takes quite a while, even on a fast system. If it helps, you can download pre-built binaries for amd64 here: https://people.debian.org/~tmancill/jessie/openjdk-8/ I built them today using the method described above, and the .changes file (openjdk-8_8u40~b09-1_amd64.changes) is signed with my Debian GPG key. Cheers, tony
