Building OpenJDK that matches OracleJDK update

[Seán Coffey]

8u45 was a Critical Patch Update (CPU) release and such releases are not 
worked via the OpenJDK forests. You won't be able to build the 
equivalent of Oracle JDK from OpenJDK sources given that the Oracle JDK 
contains extra features like plugin and installer bundles.

The Oracle JDK is built on top of the OpenJDK sources. The tags in each 
repo indicate the sources which they were built from. The best scenario 
for you might be to update your repos to the tag level corresponding to 
the Oracle JDK of which you wish to reach parity with. For 8u45, the GA 
build number was b14 - i.e. tag jdk8u45-b14
