Re: Jessie release notes for the Java packages

[Mike Dillon <mike@embody.org>]

Hi Emmanuel-

I noticed you mention backports as an option for installing Java 8 on Debian, but I don't see a jessie-backports at backports.debian.org. Do you have an links about how to install Java 8 on Jessie via backports?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Jessie is about to be released and I think it would be nice to have a
word about the Java packages in the release notes.

Here are the points that could be mentioned:

- OpenJDK 7 as the default Java runtime
- How to get Java 8 (backports or java-package)
- Addition of Tomcat 8 and removal of Tomcat 6
- New developer tools:
  - Integration of the Dynamic Code Evolution VM
  - VisualVM
  - Gradle (not up to date though, should it be mentioned?)
- Jenkins (if we can address the security issues)

So you see any other newsworthy item that could be added?
