You can get a look at the transition bugs [1] and see what can be expected by using openjdk-8 with wheezy. As a quick summary, opendjk-8 broke: - libraries doing bytecode manipulation (asm, bcel, aspectj and the packages with embedded copies of these libraries) - projects with a custom Map implementation defining a remove(Object, Object) method - Eclipse (it's still broken in unstable) - Code relying on the undefined order of HashMap entries - APT (the annotation processor). This is mostly a build time issue. Other incompatibilities are documented upstream [2] and may affect your applications [2]. > (2) Who’s going to upload to wheezy-backports-sloppy? > (3) Will backport uploads be made in timely fashion? I uploaded the initial backport to Jessie and Moritz Muehlenhoff volunteered to handle the following updates. AFAIK nobody has stepped forward to take care of a Wheezy backport. > (4) How and when should we switch everything to OpenJDK 8? We plan to switch unstable to openjdk-8 in September.
